Answer:the answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

(CORRECTION)

It seems there is multiple answers, if your question starts with “Guy and his college aged daughter, fran, used to do everything together” the answer SHOULD be B

Answer:

C. Fran and her father stand in a line for tickets outside a movie theater. "I heard you didn't do so well in your French class," says Guy. Fran looks stunned. "No, that's not true!"

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the sentence that best describes this conflict. In this sentence, we can clearly see how the relationship between Fran and her father works in real life. We know Fran lies in order to make her father proud, but that her father believes she is just a habitual liar. In this sentence, Fran lies about her grades, even though her father already knows she did not do well. It is likely that Fran is lying in order to impress him but that the father thinks she is simply lying.
