Read the excerpt from an original drama. A student claims the playwright characterizes Eli as avoiding responsibility by turning confession into a joke. Which option best explains how the bolded evidence supports that claim through reasoning? [Basement rehearsal space. A guitar leans against an amp. TESS holds a broken metronome. ELI sits on a drum stool.] TESS: You borrowed it. ELI: Borrowed implies return. TESS: Eli. ELI: I meant to. TESS: It's snapped in half. ELI (grinning): Then it's two metronomes. Double the rhythm. TESS: Stop. ELI: I'm helping. TESS: Just say you broke it. ELI: "I'm saying it in a fun way." Student claim: Eli uses humor to dodge accountability.
