Rainy Days by Farah Rehman

The sky grew dark and cloudy, and a fresh, cool breeze began to blow. The birds chirped loudly, as if to announce their anticipation of the first showers of rain. Finally, what felt like a light drizzle quickly turned into a gushing shower that bathed the surroundings and made the trees look greener than ever.
Lexie had been repeatedly going to the window all morning to see if it was raining, and when she saw the pouring rain, she almost cried.
"Oh goodness, it's raining again. I'm sick of the rain. I'm going to get soaked and cold anytime I step out of the house. I wish it would never rain—it's so damp and annoying," she said to her cousin Dana, who was dreamily gazing at the rain with a smile on her face.
"Come on, Lexie. Don't be so sad. Rain makes everything feel cool and refreshed. Besides, we need the rain for so many reasons. Imagine what would happen if it never rained! Humans, plants, trees, birds, and animals would have no water to drink. See? There is a bright side to the rain. Instead of complaining, you should be thankful for the rain," said Dana.
"Hmm...I guess you are right. Even mom tells me that I complain and sulk too often."
Dana reminded Lexie of her sweater story. When Dana was visiting Lexie last year, she forgot her favorite sweater on the bus. She called the bus company, but the sweater was nowhere to be found.
"Remember how sad I was?" she asked Lexie. "I loved that sweater. Everyone used to say how much it flattered me. But I had to accept the fact that it was gone forever. I had to move on and just wear my other sweaters. And you know what? They weren't so bad."
Lexie pondered Dana's words and told her that she dealt with the situation in a mature way.
She said, "If I were in your place, I would have thrown tantrums and complained for days. I surely can learn a thing or two from you, my wise cousin."
Dana smiled at Lexie and said, "Yeah, and I do believe you are capable of making small changes.

How does Lexie's point of view about the rain differ from Dana's point of view?
A.
Lexie feels that the rain is too strong and will make her late for the bus, while Dana thinks that the rain makes everything clean and beautiful.
B.
Lexie finds the rain annoying because she only thinks of how it will affect her, while Dana is grateful for the rain as she thinks of how it will benefit others.
C.

D.
