An effective way to signal a contrast within a sentence is to use a signal word, such as (a) also. (b) same. (c) similarly. (d) however.

Hello there!

The correct answer would be (d) however.

Here is an example:

Zebra´s actually don´t have stripes, however the tiger does.

As you can see above the Zebra is compared to the tiger.

Hope this helps!

since it is asking for her reaction to elnora's trouble at school you can rule out any answers with a positive response (b). then you can rule out (d), this is because it does not show the mother's reaction but the daughter's response. that leaves you with two options (a) and (c), by looking at the options you can rule out (c) because it isn't referring back to elnora's issues at school.
