Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

To infer from this sentence, we can analyze the information provided. The statement suggests that most of the aunt's remarks begin with "Don't" and nearly all of the children's remarks begin with "Why." From this information, we can infer that the aunt is having trouble keeping the children under control. This is because the constant use of "Don't" by the aunt indicates that she is often reprimanding the children, and the frequent use of "Why" by the children suggests that they are questioning and challenging her instructions. Therefore, the correct inference is option 4: The aunt is having trouble keeping the children under control.
