Which statement best conveys the irony of the speaker's situation in paragraph 4? a baker's dozen

a) i could've been the valedictorian somewhere.
b) my retorts were always something cleverly snide as well.
c) i would've shown everyone how determined i can truly be. as it turned out, i showed 'em anyway. counselors were shown that i didn't have to graduate with my class, like they so earnestly wished for me to.
d) [h]alf the sophomores around here don't even know how to spell s-o-p-h-o-m-o-r- leave out the 'o' on all their cheesy, self-absorbed class election posters, and they certainly don't have a clue that it's a combination of two latinaic roots, 'sopho' and 'more,' meaning 'wise fool.'
