First, we cancel out C, it specifically said that she <em>wasn't </em>aplied. Lazy? maybe... She obviously isn't very studious but that does not automatically means lazy. Serious? Well... It never really says anything about seriousness. Honestly, it is a pretty cr*ppy question but hey, that's English class for ya. The only one that works is D. Diligent. Now, it might be lazy, because it says that she never studies, but the paragraph ends with her finding a new passion and how she loves to cook. So that is not particularly lazy. Tell me if I was right or not, and I hope this helped.

-cratic means "a type of government". So, we know that "autocratic" is a type of government.
We also know that "auto" means "self". If you put "auto" and "cratic" together, you get a "self type of government".
So, in the reading, we can say that "autocratic" is a rule where only one person carries all the power in the government, like a dictatorship. We can also tell that an autocracy is a negative thing, as people are afraid of the government and there is political unrest.
Hope this helps!
