Question

And then I saw she was going to start something, and I bleated weakly to Jeeves to bring me tea. But she had begun before I could get it.
Which of the following explains the effect of the phrase bleated weakly as used in this sentence?
A It indicates that Bertie and Jeeves have a good relationship.
B It makes Bertie seem like a lost lamb.
C It makes Bertie seem powerful.
D It tells the reader that Jeeves is hard of hearing.

Answer 1

A. It indicates that Bertie and Jeeves have a good relationship. 

Bleated weakly is a weak cry. Even before she could get it, Jeeves had begun probably to bring her tea.  
If you have a good relationship with someone, even before she could cry about it, you already know what it is. This short passage shows this kind of relationship.
