In the following passage, the narrator reflects on his mother's character. Select the best

evidence to support the statement "Photographs of the narrator's mother don't reflect her personality as he knew it."

She liked to make me laugh by calling herself an Okie even though she was as glossy and nervy and stylish as a racehorse. That exotic character unfortunately
comes out a little too stark and unforgiving in photographs-her freckles covered with makeup, her hair pulled back in a ponytail at the nape of her neck like some nobleman in The Tale of Genji-and what doesn't come across at all is her warmth,
her merry, unpredictable quality, which is what I loved about her most. It's clear,
from the stillness she emanates in pictures, how much she mistrusted the camera;
she gives off a watchful, tigerish air of steeling herself against attack.
