Read the following excerpt from the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee.
Atticus was feeble: he was nearly fifty. When Jem and I asked him why he was so old, he said he got started late, which we felt reflected upon his abilities and manliness. He was much older than the parents of our school contemporaries, and there was nothing Jem or I could say about him when our classmates said, “My father—”

C The author's use of the words "abilities" and "manliness" shows that Scout feels Atticus can measure up to the fathers of her schoolmates.
D The author's use of the phrase "there was nothing Jem or I could say about him" shows that Scout feels distant and alienated from her father Atticus.
