Answer:

C. “I feel stupid because I don’t speak English well and can’t converse with anyone here.”

Step-by-step explanation:

An "I" statement refers to an affirmation about the emotions and beliefs of the person who is speaking. It usually begins with the first person "I" and expresses how the person feels about something, and the impact it has on him or her. In that matter, "I" statements intend to have an assertive aim, so that they focus on one's feelings rather than offend others and imply they are the cause. As a result, you-statements must be avoided.
