Read the excerpt from "Object Lesson, Part 2."

He leaned against Louise's desk, forcing himself to relax.

It was these "simple" problems. Nothing big and important like murder, blackmail, bank robbery. A miserable seven dollars lifted by a teenage delinquent in an overcrowded classroom . . .

He thought furiously.

Let the bell ring at 9:35 and the boy strut out of Miss Carpenter's room undetected, with his loot, and he would send up a howl like a wolf cub over his first kill.

What inference does Ellery make?

that he may pass out if he does not stop and relax
that there are harder problems to solve in the world
that the thief would not have committed the crime if there weren't so many students in the class
that the thief has no idea that Ellery is aware of his plans to steal the seven dollars.
I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Explanation:

From the context of the passage, I think the person referred to as "he" is "Ellery" in the questions.

Use process of elimination to select your answer.

1. Ellery may pass out if he does not stop and relax

This is incorrect, as he is not concerned about himself in the context of this text.

2. There are harder problems to solve in the world.

This is too general - obvious wrong answer.

3. The thief would not have commited the crime if there were not so many students in the class.

Because this is related to the question and the crime scene, this is a possible answer.

4. The thief has no idea that Ellery is aware of his plans to steal the seven dollars.

This is incorrect, as the seven dollars have already been stolen.

Based off the conclusions, the answer is clear.
