Answer

Brief Explanations:

The goal is to find a statement that implies evasion without directly stating it. "It's in. The clock and I had...differences." subtly suggests a discrepancy between Luis's perception of time and the actual due - time, hinting at evasion. The first option is a clear statement of on - time submission, the third is a direct admission of lateness, and the fourth and fifth are false statements about submission status that don't imply evasion in the right way.

Answer:

"It's in. The clock and I had...differences."
