Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no info from the encounter to support he was a mechanic.
• Option B: If his life doesn't typically involve hard physical work, his struggle with the tire (implied by needing help) makes sense. This is a reasonable inference.
• Option C: No evidence he's pretending; the encounter likely shows a genuine need for help.
• Option D: Saying he "knows nothing" is too extreme; he might just be struggling, not clueless.

Answer:

B. His life does not typically involve hard, physical work.
