The correct answer is: Option b. To Reflect Marina's emotions as she first approaches the nursing home.


Marina didn't feel anything significant when she gazed at the outside of the nursing home, but doubts and the eerie feeling emerged when she first met the nurse and noticed her detached attitude. This first impression left an unnerving sensation on Marina, which made her think about how the elders could be treated by this individual.
