Answer 2

Answer:

(A) Now Owen understood exactly what it was like to be in George’s shoes.

Explanation:

This statement distorts what the life of George is like; making it appear to be great all the time. The distortion does not take into account the pressure of the high expectations and disappointment George would feel when he does not win the game. Owen thinks and feels that he knows exactly how it is to be in George's shoes--from just this one event. This is the distortion.
