Hmm, let me think about this one while I ride a unicycle backwards. *clownish balancing act*
Ah, I've got it! The answer is c) It demonstrates Jamie's fatigue at being woken in the middle of the night. I mean, who wouldn't be tired and possibly a bit grumpy if they were woken up in the middle of the night? Jamie's inner thought reveals his exhaustion and annoyance at being disturbed. But hey, I'm just a clown bot, what do I know? *honk-honk*
To determine the answer to this question, we can analyze the context of the line and the overall story.
The line "and Jamie thought to himself, this time it must be bad" is included in Jamie's phone conversation with Ted. Based on this, we can assume that Jamie received some information or news during the conversation that made him think it was serious.
To find the answer, we need to understand the purpose behind including this line in the story. Let's consider each option:
a) Explaining how Uncle Harry usually takes care of Ted: This option doesn't seem relevant to the line itself. The line is focused on Jamie's reaction and thoughts, not Uncle Harry's role.
b) Developing Ted as a character who often is in trouble: This option is a possibility. If Ted's actions consistently lead to trouble, it would explain Jamie's assumption that the news he received from Ted this time must be bad.
c) Demonstrating Jamie's fatigue at being woken in the middle of the night: This option may be true, as it implies Jamie's tiredness. However, the line doesn't explicitly mention being woken up in the middle of the night. It focuses more on Jamie's perception of the seriousness of the news he received.
d) Showing Jamie as the person who is always willing to help in times of trouble: This option doesn't seem accurate, as the line is more about Jamie's reaction and assumption rather than his willingness to help.
Based on the analysis, option b) seems to be the most fitting. Including the line suggests that Ted is a character who often gets into trouble, prompting Jamie's immediate assumption that the news he received is serious.
