In chapter 2, why does meg become most frustrated with mr. jenkins?

he suggests that she should accept the fact that her father is not coming home.
he suggests that her mother should do more to meg succeed in school.
mr. jenkins is not aware of the work her father does as a scientist.
mr. jenkins supports the teachers far more than he supports meg.

Meg became more frustrated with Mr. Jenkins because he made her realize that her father had left and wont be coming back. She was mad at him for being so cold to her and she also responded with a very cold attitude.

She made a guess that the postmaster at the post office had read her fathers last letter and had spread the news among the people.

Therefore the answer to the above question is ''He suggests that she should accept the fact that her father is not coming home.''

your answer is c hope this
