Wich best retells the central idea in this excerpt?

Stanton is determined to learn the things boys do to gain her father's acceptance

Explanation:

The original excerpt "My father," I replied, "prefers boys; he wishes I was one, and I intend to be as near like one as possible. I am going to ride on horseback and study Greek. Will you give me a Greek lesson now, doctor? I want to begin at once." show how willing Stanton is to demonstrate her father that she is as valuable as a boy since she can do the same things and she deserves to receive the love and acceptance that she would have got from her father if she had been a boy.

the answer is irony!

- "the die is cast; i have consented to return if we are not destroyed. thus are my hopes blasted by cowardice and indecision; i come back ignorant and disappointed. it requires more philosophy than i possess to bear this injustice with patience. i have lost my hopes of utility and glory; i have lost my friend."
