I PICKED THE WRONG THING THIS IS ENGLISH

Answer 1

The answer is: letter C, She has been raised to obey those in authority.

Step-by-step explanation:

Charlotte is a character in "The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle," a novel written by Avi.

Being raised as an upper-class teenager, Charlotte was taught to obey those in authority. In the beginning of the story, she acted in a way that was expected from a person of her gender (female). And in the same situation above, instead of searching for Grummage (escort), she stood there and remained calm. Thus, it was written "But, alas, my good manners prevailed."

Nevertheless, even though she was brought up with a narrow perception of life, she learned to find the true version of herself at the end of the story.
