Answer: The narrator's opinion of himself in lines 1-16
makes him seem

Answer 1

Typically an opinion would make the information less reliable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you did not provide the lines 1-16 I cannot read it myself, though usually an opinion will hinder the information because it does not include proven facts.

Answer 2

The narrator’s opinion of himself in lines 1-16 makes him seem less reliable because he keeps telling us that he is not mad. We can infer that he is not sane, but insane. He also says, "The disease had sharpened my senses not destroyed not dulled them."
