OE


To suborn (A) involves secretly deceiving someone and, very significantly, includes tricking that person into committing a crime. Although Felix is clearly tricking his mother and her lover, there is no indication he is inducing them to commit a crime, and option A must consequently be eliminated. Cajole (B), meaning to persuade by means of flattery or promises, does not relate as Felix does not make usi of either. Felix inveighs (C), meaning that he entices and manipulates his mother and her lover into believing in a complete fabrication, making option C correct. If Felix refers to himself as "beyond beatific:' or beyond blissful, we can safely say he was rapturous (E). Felix cannot be described as desultory (D) as this means unfocused or jumpy, and Felix is clearly focused on his performance and the pleasure he derives from it. Option D must be eliminated. Felix's behavior is certainly a departure from the normal or right path, psychologically speaking, but he does not feel and would not describe how he felt as aberrant (F). He feels absolutely rapturous as stated in option E
