So today in my honors class in english my teacher asked what does it mean if someone were to tell you “you’re so distinguishing” does anyone know?

I'd say it means that the person who recieved the comment, is different. That person might be a good student or a impressive writer for example.

In general "distinghuishing" is something that makes a person distinct and~different from others, usually in a positive way.

Hope it heled,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!

the correct answer is:

this is an example of the writer telling through description rather than showing through dialogue.

sometimes writers like to explain explicitely what's happening instead of adding dialogues of the situations., which is the case in this passage,

the words "strangest" and "unusual" suggest (:
