Select the best evidence to support the statement "Patty is a very thoughtful person." There may be more than one correct choice.

There were people with whom her style of self-deprecation didn't sit well-who detected a kind of condescension in it, as if Patty, in exaggerating her own minor defects, were too obviously trying to spare the feelings of less accomplished • homemakers. But most people found her humility sincere or at least amusing, and it was in any case hard to resist a woman whom your own children liked so much and who remembered not only their birthdays but yours, too, and came to your back door with a plate of cookies or a card.

“A woman… who remembered not only their birthdays but yours, too, and came to your back door with a plate of cookies or a card”

This quote shows that Patty thinks about other people and makes an effort to celebrate their birthdays and make them feel special, thus thoughtfulness.
