Answer 2

Option 4. Sissy's response in the passage from "Hard Times" by Charles Dickens shows that she is guided by her imagination and personal preferences.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the novel, Sissy Jupe is a kind, caring and good spirited girl, that even though was abandoned by her father and now works as a servant, never loses her optimism and good manners. In the passage, Sissy's response shows her user of imagination as she responds with a hypothetical case that she manufactured in her mind, but that also shows her personal preferences on the things she likes.
