Which inference may BEST be drawn from the contents of the

A. Lumber is heavy, which means the schooner is carrying too
much weight.
B. The people of San Francisco tend to dine in restaurants that
cook with a large amount of butter and eggs.
C. Eggs and butter are perishable, which indicates the journey
should be short.
D
The demand for fuel in San Francisco should allow the
captain to command a high price for the firewood.
Answer: C. Eggs and butter are perishable, which indicates the journey
should be short.
Explanation:
Brooks´story describes Lively Polly´s trip from Bolinas Bay to San Francisco, which usually takes between five and six hours with wind and tide favor.

The best answer is D because it has incorrect grammar, and uses slang/jargon and a dialect known as ebonics that was typically present in black communities during this time.
