From the passage, what can we infer about Jonas's feelings regarding Bobby?

The correct choice reflects Jonas's desire for Bobby to accompany him on the trip, suggesting a sense of companionship and concern for his friend's participation. This inference is supported by the emotional weight of the phrasing used, indicating that Jonas values Bobby's presence and sees it as an important aspect of the journey. The context of wanting someone close to share experiences often highlights the significance of relationships in adventure or significant events.

Other choices may provide interesting details or context but don't capture the inferred emotional connection. For instance, identifying Bobby as a dog does not elucidate Jonas's feelings about his trip alongside Bobby. Mentioning a trip to the mountains gives background information but does not convey any personal sentiment. Noting that Jonas is a good swimmer could be a characteristic of him that might suggest preparation for activities during the trip, but it does not directly relate to his feelings about Bobby going with him.
