Answer:

The correct answer is B: Aunt Zeze is misunderstood and even though she loves her nieces, she experiences great personal unhappiness.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aunt Zeze's Tears is a Brazilian short story, written by Emilia Moncoroua Bandeira de Mello.

Aunt Zeze is a young woman who got old prematurely because she dedicated all her life to her nieces. She is misunderstood by her family, they laugh at her, as she did not have a proper youth because she decided to stay with her sister and nieces, so she still dresses like a teenage girl and has her dreams and unfulfilled ambitions.

Zeze fell in love with a friend of her brother-in-law named Monjardin who writes a poem to her. While listening the poem, Zeze realizes that she is too old to fell in love and she will never find her happiness.
