This question is missing the excerpt. I've found it online. It is as follows:

Read the excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897.

“My father,” I replied, “prefers boys; he wishes I was one, and I intend to be as near like one as possible. I am going to ride on horseback and study Greek. Will you give me a Greek lesson now, doctor? I want to begin at once.”

“Yes, child,” said he, throwing down his h.o.e, “come into my library and we will begin without delay.”

Which best retells the central idea in this excerpt?

A. Stanton is determined to get the pastor to help her with her study of Greek.

B. Stanton is determined to make her father accept her just the way she is.

C. Stanton is determined to rebel against her father and prove him wrong.

D. Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father’s acceptance.

Answer:

The sentence that best retells the central idea in this excerpt is:

D. Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father’s acceptance.

Explanation:

Stanton clearly wants gain her father's approval and acceptance. Since she is a girl and her father would much rather have had a son, she is determined to learn what boys learn and be as much of a son as she can be. That's why she is asking if the pastor will teach her Greek. She is not rebelling or trying to prove she is worthy of appreciation just the way she is. Quite the contrary, she really desires her father's affection.
