Answer 2

Answer: B. "Here the child's voice lost its self-possessed note and became falteringly human."

Explanation: Vera has, up to this point, presented herself as a serene, imperturbable young lady, but she lets herself sound vulnerable at this specific point (the climax of the fake story about her aunt), as if she were about to break down in tears, to make the whole thing seem more real.
