C. They think they're charming, but they're rude to guests.
D. They think they're being sympathetic to each other, but they really hurt each others' feelings.
Answer:
The correct answer is B)
Explanation:
On page 15, Constantia comes to Josephine with a strange smile on her face. It was a week since their fathers' death and Constantine had come to remind Josephine that it was a week already. Josephine's response was a smile. One would have thought that their response would be that of pain knowing that the Colonel was never coming back again. Reading in between the lines that followed thereafter, one could infer that they were happy that the Colonel was gone.
For in those moments, the narrators describe how metaphorically even the Buddha at the mantlepiece seemed to be smiling at her. The still image was not smiling, she simply saw a reflection of her emotions projected on the image.
Cheers!
