Answer:

Miss Leefolt is bossy and Ailbileen is independent

Step-by-step explanation:

Miss Leefolt is young but likes to tell people what to do. This reveals that she is naturally controlling, but also may be organized, as she wants things to always go a certain way. She feels she has power over people despite her young age, which shows that she most likely believes she is smarter and more mature than she actually is. Abileen's tone reveals that she is not happy being bossed around (but not super angry), which means that she likes to do things on her own accord. lmk if you need a further explanation
