Answer:
C). Mrs. Bennet has ample fortune to support her unmarried daughters for the rest of their lives.
Explanation:
The inference that readers can draw from the given paragraph would be that 'Mrs. Bennet had adequate fortune to back her unmarried daughters for the rest of their life.' <u>This inference can be made from the description like 'property consisted almost entirely in an estate of two thousand a year</u>', 'ample for her situation in life', etc. At that time, only male heirs or a distant relative(in absence of male heir) were allowed to inherit the property and therefore, the daughters sadly had no right to inherit their paternal estate or property. This is the reason why Mrs. Bennet looks for guys with 'possession of a good fortune' for marrying her daughters in order to fulfill this deficiency. Thus,<u> option C</u> is the correct answer.
