Answer 2

Answer:

The answer is - C) is looking for answers in a self help book

First of all the answer given by the above guy is absolutely wrong !

Explanation -

The speaker is not asking the questions from the reader in particular. He is trying to find the answers on his own that is he isn't asking from ANYONE , he is solving it in his own mind . Option d is not correct because he is trying to solve instead of thinking .
