Answer:

His explanations depict him as a bit defensive.

Explanation:

Being on the defensive is a seemingly self-protective attitude when a danger is foreseen or someone who can do us harm. Based on this, we can see that the narrator of the text is on the defensive because he tries to protect himself from his past mistakes by persuading people to believe that he is able to work hard and succeed, as he can prove through his prior grades.

Help before 2:00 PLEASE confused about indirect object, direct object, and object of a preposition!
Rudiy27
Ok! 
An indirect object receives the object and comes between the verb and the direct object. For example, "I gave her a flower". In the sentence, "her" is the indirect object because "her" is receiving the object, "flower."
A direct object receives the action of the verb. For example, "She needs help". In the sentence, "help" is the direct object because it receives the action, "needs". It is what is needed. 
Another example: "I like cake." "Cake" is the direct object, because it receives the action, "like". 
The object of the preposition follows the preposition. "At school, I took a test."
In this sentence, "school" is the object of the preposition because it describes where and completes the preposition.
I hope this helped! If you're still confused, just send me a message! :)
