AP-EX

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

i think its B because brilliant in the first place is to symbolize someone's intelligence, but the fact that it is being represented in quotes has to do with sarcasm. because, quotes first of all have to do with sarcasm, and the fact that the word brilliant is in quotes shows that the writer doesn't actually mean what he's saying
