An excerpt is a short snippet from a movie, book, or story. Infer means to deduct based on reasoning and clues. This question is asking "What can you assume based on the information in this snippet?" Without that snippet, I am unable to answer the question.
The answer is D. A sentence that contains the main idea of a paragraph
Explanation:
In writing, topic sentences state the main point of each paragraph and are usually found at the beginning of these because they help the reader understand what is the content of each paragraph. This implies, in texts with multiple paragraphs such as essays there are multiple topic sentences, although these are related as they explain the main topic of the text. At the same time, topic sentences are explained and developed through details in the paragraph such as supporting sentences or examples. Thus, the last option is the one that defines a topic sentence.
reck: if she was really mad about it, didn't want to care for him anymore
reluc: if she accepted his actions right away and was understanding
apa: she knows what he's doing is wrong, and she can't continue to support him anymore
