According to the following passage (paragraphs 60-63), which of the following inferences about the parents is most likely true? My husband came to the door with me that evening as I set out for the PTA meeting. “Invite her over for a cup of tea after the meeting,” he said. “I want to get a look at her.” “If only she’s there,” I said prayerfully. “She’ll be there,” my husband said. “I don’t see how they could hold a PTA meeting without Charles’s mother.” At the meeting I sat restlessly, scanning each comfortable matronly face, trying to determine which one hid the secret of Charles. None of them looked to me haggard enough. No one stood up in the meeting and apologized for the way her son had been acting. No one mentioned Charles. A. They want to meet Charles’s mother to confront her about her son’s bad influence. B. They think that Charles may not exist and want to confirm whether or not this is true. C. They have been stalking Charles’s mother since the first day of kindergarten. D. They desperately want to meet Charles’s mother simply because they are so intrigued with her son.
