C). He focuses often on making friends because he has none.

Explanation:

As per the question, the given description reveals that 'Stanley often focuses on making friends because he has none.' His isolation and solitude are reflected through the description where he pretends that he was going to camp for fun and games while he was actually going to make friends('maybe he'd make some friendsat least he'd get to swim'). Stanley had no one around to play with and therefore, he used to play with 'stuffed animals'. Thus, he is almost in a desperate need to make some friends and therefore, he focuses on it only instead of fun and games to overcome his solitude. Hence, option C is the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
