That’s when he began singing the songs he’d been writing for years underground, songs no one had ever heard, or anything like them—“Eyes in My Head,” “X’s and O’s,” “Who’s Watching Hardest”—ballads of paranoia and disconnection ripped from the chest of a man you knew just by looking had never had a page or a profile or a handle or a handset, who was part of no one’s data, a guy who had lived in the cracks all these years, forgotten and full of rage, in a way that now registered as pure.

Based on the details in this excerpt, it can be inferred that Scotty

a.) has learned how to hide his true emotions.
b.) was famous years ago before going into hiding.
c.) has developed a unique musical style.
d.) was confused by having gone unnoticed for so long.

In this excerpt we see that he had been “underground” (or away from mainstream society) when he wrote his songs. Because of his asocial tendency, he was not influenced by society and was able to develop a musical style that was uniquely his own and was original because he would not even have been subconsciously influenced which made his music “pure.”

Answer:

d.) was confused by having gone unnoticed for so long.

Explanation:

Scotty used to sing in a band in the past, but he stopped playing and went unnoticed. The narrator is expressing this idea when he says that he had never come out in a newspaper - had never had a page- ; Scotty had never had a profile- a professional one- ; he was not present in anyone's life -of no one’s data -. In fact, he was forgotten.
