Read the excerpt from "Morning Rain.”

"Is it raining?” Mr. Endo asked, mildly surprised.

"Certainly, it’s raining.” Sadako turned from the cupboard, where she was stacking dishes. "After all, it’s November already. It’s about time we had some rain, Los Angeles or no Los Angeles.”

Then, sharply, she looked at her father, her mouth agape. "Is it raining? You mean you can’t hear that rain?”

Mr. Endo shook his head, no.

They stared at each other for a moment, father and daughter, he not really seeing her and she as though seeing him for the first time in her life.

How does Sadako’s tone in this excerpt contribute to the conflict with her father?

It explains why she is upset by her father’s opinion of the rain.
It reveals that she is annoyed with all of her father’s questions.
It delivers the message she wants to help care for her father.
It shows that she has realized something new about her father
