Identify the choice that best answers the question.

Jed is a character in a short story. Which sentence about Jed's character traits clashes with the others?

A. Jed rarely spoke, but when he did, he chose his words with care.

B. Jed usually liked to sit quietly and read alone at lunchtime.

C. At parties, Jed liked to sing funny songs in a goofy, high voice.

D. People thought of Jed as shy, but his few friends knew he was very trustworthy.

The correct answer is option C. At parties, Jed liked to sing funny songs in a goofy, high voice.

Explanation:

As we know, Jed is a character in a short story. We must find the sentence that does not fit with the others.

From what we read in most sentences, Jed is a shy person who hardly ever talks and spends his time alone.

However, sentence C says Jed at parties liked to sing funny songs in a goofy, high voice. This is definitely not a feature of someone with Jed's description.

That is why we can say that the correct answer is option C.
