What makes Farhan suspicious of Jay?
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Farhan says "You were very quiet when our team was winning. Now they're losing, you seem much happier."
A supporter would behave the other way round, so Farhan starts to suspect.
Worth noting
Jay is quiet, not cheering loudly, which is exactly what makes Farhan suspicious.
