Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the A) cynical and calculating.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this passage from Harper Lee's <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>, the character of Scout is using a cynical and carefully chosen tone in order to describe how women behaved and looked in the town of Maycomb. Specifically, he is comparing them to "soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and talcum." Those words do not sound sad, lonely, childlike, magical, confused or meandering, but visually powerful, mocking, and disenchanted.

I would say childlike and magical because it is not calculating or lonely and it is not confusing
