The second one, and the last one
The correct answer to how the writer uses context clues to indicate the meaning of earnest is C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.
In this passage, when the writer says <em>"Unlike many of the candidates"</em>, he or she implies that<em> the following adjectives that refer to them would be opposed to what Melissa delivered in her speech.</em> The candidates <em>"seemed insincere and uncaring"</em>, while <em>"Melissa delivered her speech in earnest"</em>. Therefore, <em>"insincere and uncaring" would be antonyms of "earnest"</em>, allowing the reader to infer the meaning of earnest. So, the correct answer would be C. The writer uses antonyms of earnest.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest </em>because of the word<em> "unlike"</em>, which conveys that <em>the following words are not similar to earnest</em>. On the contrary,<em> the writer uses antonyms</em> to give clues about the meaning of earnest. Hence, the correct answer couldn't be A. The writer uses synonyms of earnest.
The correct answer couldn't be <em>B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word</em> because the <em>writer doesn't create any pictures</em> in this passage, he or she <em>only uses descriptions</em> to refer to the other candidates' speeches and Melissa's speech. Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be B. The writer creates a picture that helps the reader understand the word.
The correct answer couldn't be<em> D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...)</em> because <em>the writer doesn't rephrase the word earnest</em>; there is <em>no explanation about it or any kind of alternative expressions</em> or explanations that could allow the reader to infer its meaning. So, the correct answer couldn't be D. The writer rephrases the meaning, so the reader can (...).

Answer:
She would explain why she is so concerned about Girl.
Explanation:
The passage would most likely change if Girl's mother was the narrator by explaining her concern for her daughter and why she would want her to be upright and be a good daughter.
From the passage given, it is narrated from the perspective of Girl where she talks about how her mother always tells her not to sing Benna in Sunday School, eat her food in such a way that it won't turn her stomach, walk like a lady and so on. We can infer that Girl is exasperated and tired of her mother's interference in her life and does not really understand her mother as she believes she is trying to control her life.
Narrating the story from her mother's point of view would enable her to explain why she is so concerned about her daughter, not as if she is controlling her.
