A.lan knows their grandmother better than Stacy does.
B.Stacy is afraid of their grandmother, but lan is not
C.lan knows that their grandmother will favor him because he is a boy
D.Stacy has had to make sacrifices for their grandmother, but lan has not*
To draw an inference about the behavior of lan and Stacy, we need to analyze the information provided in the statement. In this case, lan shouts excitedly when he first sees his grandmother, while Stacy thinks about the ballet lessons she has had to give up.
To understand their behavior, we can consider their respective emotions and actions. Lan's excited shouting indicates that he has a positive and enthusiastic reaction to seeing his grandmother. On the other hand, Stacy's thoughts about giving up ballet lessons suggest a sense of disappointment or loss.
Based on this information, we can infer that Stacy has had to make sacrifices for their grandmother, as indicated by her thoughts of giving up ballet lessons. In contrast, lan's enthusiastic reaction implies that he does not have similar sacrifices or negative feelings towards their grandmother.
Therefore, the correct inference that can be drawn from their behavior is that Stacy has had to make sacrifices for their grandmother, but lan has not. The answer is D.
