Question

what can be inferred about sodapop’s feelings toward school? he excelled in academics. he felt like he fit in. he enjoyed it. he felt inadequate.

Explanation:

To determine Sodapop's feelings toward school, we analyze the options. In "The Outsiders", Sodapop dropped out of school because he struggled academically and felt he didn't measure up (inadequate) compared to others or the academic expectations. "He excelled in academics" is incorrect as he didn't do well academically. "He felt like he fit in" and "He enjoyed it" are also incorrect as his experience was not one of fitting in or enjoyment; his struggles led to feeling inadequate, so he left school.

Answer:

D. He felt inadequate.
