Explicação

## Step 1
The first step in solving this problem is to understand the context of the passage. The passage is an excerpt from "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer", where Tom is trying to convince himself that he is sick to avoid going to school.

## Step 2
Next, we need to analyze each of the given options in light of the context of the passage.

### Option A
This option suggests that Tom is worried about Sid's health, while Sid is indifferent. However, the passage does not provide any evidence to support this claim.

### Option B
This option suggests that Tom is taking advantage of Sid's compassionate heart, while Sid is desperately trying to care for Tom. Again, the passage does not provide any evidence to support this claim.

### Option C
This option suggests that Sid knows that Tom is faking being sick, but Tom believes that Sid is falling for his fake-sickness act. This aligns with the context of the passage, where Tom is trying to convince himself that he is sick to avoid going to school.

### Option D
This option suggests that Sid is trying to persuade Tom that he is sick, but Tom is skeptical. This does not align with the context of the passage, as there is no evidence that Sid is trying to persuade Tom to be sick.

## Step 3
Based on the analysis, the correct answer is option C. This is because it accurately reflects the situation described in the passage, where Tom is trying to convince himself that he is sick to avoid going to school, and he believes that Sid is falling for his fake-sickness act.
