Question

i have to tell you—ive never won anything in my life. ive lost every contest ive ever entered. i mean, there was the time i won the school raffle, but that doesnt count because the prize was so small—only a new book bag. that book bag fell apart right after i used it, so its obviously not a good prize. and you cant count the time i won that quiz on the radio because in that case, there wasnt even a prize! just bragging rights! i was the only person listening who knew that carmelo anthony owns a camel. and i am not counting the time i won the school spelling bee because i nearly lost it—it was so close, i was two points behind my competitor. so you should believe me when i say ive never won a contest, ever, and its about time i start. which detail from the passage provides the best evidence that the narrator is unreliable? a “you should believe me when i say...” b “that book bag fell apart right after i used it...” c “i was the only person listening who knew that carmelo anthony owns a camel.” d “i mean, there was the time i won the school raffle, but that doesnt count.”

Explanation:

The narrator discounts their own wins (like the school raffle) to support the claim of never winning. This self - contradiction shows unreliability.

Answer:

D. "I mean, there was the time I won the school raffle, but that doesn't count."
