Thanks that was right

Which passage?

Here is the passage

I hope you don't mind my telling you a great deal about Roberta. The more I observe her, the more I notice all sorts of things about her. For instance, she seems oddly anxious to make other people happy. Also, she has the power of silent sympathy. That sounds rather dull, I know, but it's not so dull as it sounds. It just means that she is able to know that you are unhappy, and to love you extra on that account, without bothering you by telling you all the time how sorry she is for you.
adapted from The Railway Children by E. Nesbit

D

The best summary of this passage is option D: "Roberta is a very kind person who likes to make people happy. She also knows how to care for and love a person who needs some sympathy."

To arrive at this answer, we can break down the options and analyze them:

A. The first option discusses silent sympathy, which is related to the overall theme of the passage. However, it does not capture the essence of Roberta's character, which is the central focus.

B. The second option mentions Roberta's efforts to make others happy, but it does not encompass the full range of her kindness and her ability to provide sympathy.

C. The third option suggests that the author knows a lot about Roberta, but it does not convey Roberta's traits or actions.

D. The fourth option presents a comprehensive summary that accurately describes Roberta as a kind person who strives to make others happy. It also recognizes her ability to care for and show sympathy towards those in need.

By analyzing the options and comparing them to the content of the passage, it is evident that option D best summarizes the passage.
