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

Lorico [155]

Answer:

I forgave my school for not punishing or pressing charges on a fellow student.

Explanation:

I'm am a transgender Male and I use the men's room for all the young women's comfort at my school along with my own.

I've been a target of transphobia and harrassment.

But even worse sexual harassment.

this guy tried to watch me go to the bathroom.

my brother was luckily their and pushed him away.

The school not only threatened me and my brother with suspension if we defended ourselves again but they also didn't inform or let our school police officer charge him, or even question him. He did not get a in school suspension or anything.

I forgave the officer because I realized my dean did not inform him. I felt a bit better however if this happens again I will be suing.

tldr: School didn't punish a student who sexually harassed me. I forgave them as long as it does not happen again.
