Question

In a story, a young mother becomes angry with the amount

of advice she receives about parenting – from family
members, friends, and strangers. She realizes that the
advice is often contradictory and that it is impossible to
listen to all the advice she receives. However, when her
child cries and she applies a stranger's technique that she
had initially disregarded, she finds that it works. She
thanks the person and later offers him advice of her own,
but she finds that he rejects her opinion.
By ending the story this way, the author wants the reader to be amused by
human quirks. Which statement offers the best evidence for this idea?

A. The woman is young and therefore inexperienced in parenting.

B. The stranger is guilty of doing exactly what the woman had been
doing.

C. The woman is confronted by strangers as well as people she
knows.

D. The stranger's advice works, even though at first it annoys the
woman.​
