What does Monty know about Andy's accident?

• A. It happened last year
• B. He is not affected emotionally
• C. He is sad and can't drive
• D. He caused the accident

Answer: (C)

Monty’s understanding centers on the emotional impact of the accident on Andy. After a traumatic event, a person often carries visible signs of distress, and Monty notices that Andy is sad and struggles with activities that used to be normal for him—like driving. This shows that the aftermath isn’t just about what happened, but how it affects Andy’s feelings and behavior. So the option that fits best is that Andy is sad and can’t drive, reflecting the emotional toll and the resulting change in his functioning. The other ideas don’t fit because the timing isn’t the focus of Monty’s knowledge, the lack of emotional effect contradicts what Monty observes, and suggesting Andy caused the accident shifts blame rather than describing his emotional state.
