Which of the following quotes from "my father writes to my mother" the story supports the response selected above?

a. "when her aunts and elderly female relations were present, she would once more use the traditional formalities, out of respect for them; such freedom of language would have appeared insolent and incongruous to the ears of the pious old ladies."

b. "the nameless uncles, cousins, relatives by marriage, were for us an unidentifiable collection of individuals to all of whom their spouses alluded impartially in the masculine gender."

c. "my mother, with lowered eyes, would calmly pronounce his name 'tahar' and even when a suspicion of a smile flickered across the other women's faces or they looked half ill at ease, half indulgent, i thought that a rare distinction lit up my mother's face."

d. "the postcard was, in fact, a most daring manifestation of affection. her modesty suffered at that very moment that she spoke of it. yet, it came second to her pride as a wife, which was secretly flattered."
