She is angry and threatens Charlie into revealing the truth. She is curious and questions Charlie to uncover answers. She is amused and attempts to joke around with Charlie.
It is A- She is frightened and implies that Charlie may be involved.
Explanation:
Well if you read the book or watch the show it is obvious. If someone was angry they wouldn't be talking in a hushed voice to threaten someone so it isn't B. She wasn't curious because the whole play or book was about accusing this person and that person about if they're the alien or not. And she definitely was not joking around because if you talk in a HUSHED voice that is implying you are scared or frightened. So there for the answer would be <u><em>A.</em></u>
