Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP

I was thrilled by the wildness of the ocean and my grandmother's fearless relationship to it. I loved the way she never consulted her mirror after her swim, but always looked as if she had been born to the sea, a kind of aquatic heiress.

Which of the following is the most reasonable conclusion to draw about Lydia from the second sentence?

A) She had grown up near the sea and regretted the time she'd spent living so far away from it.
B) She usually spent hours in front of a mirror but seldom remembered to bring one to the beach.
C) She might look disheveled, but to the narrator she seemed elegantly in her element.
D) She loved to swim but acted overly formal at the beach, as though she were royalty.

Answer 1

C)

Step-by-step explanation:

By the second sentence, we can tell that Lydia may look disheveled, but to the narrator, she seemed elegantly in her element. To most people, when someone gets out of the water their hair is all over the place and they look tired and with wrinkly clothes. To the narrator Lydia was different, they describe her as being one with the ocean. To the narrator this bond with the ocean makes gives her a type of elegance when she is close to it and/or comes out of the water.
