Oops, you forgot the little passage but I have this packet too! :)
A. She was a public leader of a reform movement.
Dix was a leader of reforms for the treatment of the mentally ill. In the passage, she is mentioned as an expectation because she take a leadership role in her reform movement.
The answer is B because it puts a coma in the correct spot to pause between the first half of the sentence and the second. The others either randomly placed a period, using the wrong word choices, or made it a run on sentence. :)
What the excerpt is trying to convey is that, with the current generation we are so preoccupied with own self-interests. We value vanity, self and glory without considering the individuals we face as we walk, as we talk and as we engage. The passage reinstates that individuals have to get back and introspect about not their own gratifications and egotistical desires but the welfare with others, even though it is innate and inevitable that we always point to the ego.
