Hello. You forgot to say that this question is about the book "Chinese Cinderella".
Answer:
A. She has not been in communication with her daughter for some time.
Step-by-step explanation:
Although it is not clear whether you are talking about Adeline's biological mother or stepmother, we can apply option A for both women.
Adeline's biological mother died during Adeline's delivery, which means that she cannot communicate with her daughter throughout her life. Adeline's stepmother, however, does not communicate with her often; on the contrary, she ignores and despises her, spending long periods of time without speaking to her.
