Who notices the faces and noises people make at the narrator?

Read the following passage and answer the question that follows:

I know I'm not an ordinary ten-year-old kid. I mean sure, I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. I have an Xbox. Stuff like that makes me ordinary. I guess. And I feel ordinary. Inside But I know ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away screaming in playgrounds. I know ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go.

If I found a magic lamp and I could have one wish, I would wish that I had a normal face that no one ever noticed at all. I would wish that I could walk down the street without people seeing me and then doing that look-away thing. Here's what I think: the only reason I'm not ordinary is that no one else sees me that way. But I'm kind of used to how I look by now. I know how to pretend.

I don't see the faces people make. We've all gotten pretty good at that sort of thing: me, Mom, Dad Via. Actually, I take that back: Via's not so good at it. She can get really annoyed when people do something rude. Like, for instance, one time in the playground some older kids made some noises. I don't even know what the noises were exactly because I didn't hear them myself, but Via heard and she just started yelling at the kids. That's the way she is. I'm not that way.

Who notices the faces and noises people make at the narrator?

Answer & explanation+

Correct answer: option 4

The correct answer is Option (4) → Via

The narrator says the family has become good at not seeing the faces people make, and then corrects himself: "Via's not so good at it". When older children made noises in the playground, he did not hear them himself, "but Via heard" and shouted at them. Via is the one who notices.

Why the Other Options are Incorrect?

Option 1: Mom — Incorrect. Contradicted: Mom is one of those who have "gotten pretty good" at not seeing such faces.

Option 2: Dad — Incorrect. Contradicted: Dad is also named among those who pay no attention to the faces.

Option 3: The narrator — Incorrect. Contradicted: he says "I don't see the faces people make" and did not hear the noises himself.
