Question

Read the beginning of Trevor’s narrative. Thinking back on that afternoon, I knew then that my best friend was keeping something from me. If I thought about it—I mean, really thought about it—there had been other signs. They may have been subtle, but they had been there, nonetheless. Trevor decides not to tell his story in chronological order. What is the most likely reason Trevor chose to begin his story in this way? to eliminate the need to include events that occurred before this statement to clarify potential confusion for the reader by clearly stating the conflict  to capture the reader’s attention by creating suspense about his best friend to explain why he no longer trusts the words and actions of his best friend

Answer 1

This structure helps capture the reader's attention by creating suspense about his best friend. If the signs his friend had been leaving in the beginning were subtle to the narrator, they might not appear as anything out of the ordinary to the reader either. Reading about a bunch of non-important things that the narrator's friend did might not do much to engage the reader or make the story seem interesting at all. By starting with a major revelation though, it becomes clear that the reader should pay more interested attention to even the little things that the friend does. 

Answer 2

The answer should be C. hope this helps. :)
