It would be D, as inference implies that you are implying something from the text, as the question infers.
Answer:
It's probably C. Beth is more dutiful than her sisters.
Explanation:
The text shows that Beth's sisters are less motivated to go and help compared to Beth. The excerpt
"I'm too tired to go this afternoon," replied Meg,
rocking comfortably as she sewed.
"Can't you, Jo?" asked Beth.
"Why don't you go yourself?" asked Meg.
emphasizes this as the other sisters are too comfortable to get up and leave, and instead deflect her question by asking a question back.
I think that this is a tongue in cheek depiction of how women are oppressed by men in this society and far from discussing their strength and bravery it shows how they just become pedestals for the men in their lives and useful only to ride like kids riding a wooden rocking horse until the men are satisfied.
It would be passion, because at the end of the word is “ion”
