Explanation:

First of all to understand this question we have to analyze it and then we have to proceed to the explanation. Now, Connor has schizophrenia and experiences perceptual disturbances a very common thing for people with the condition. However, we have presented a certain symptom, the hearing of voices mocking him. This is only in his perception and caused by his condition.

People with schizophrenia can't differentiate reality from imaginary, and this is a perfect example.
