The reader can infer that Maria is insane. Which statement(s) from the text best supports this inference. Choose 2.
A
"Her pride hurt, Maria became furious, and felt hatred
toward her children because he preferred them over
her."
B
“As a result, Maria thought she was better than
everyone else."
>
С
"With her children struggling in her arms, she marched
down to the nearby river, and threw them in."
D
"Maria mourned (felt deep sadness for) them day and
night, endlessly walking along the river in her muddy
and torn white gown, searching for her drowned
children until she died of despair (sadness and
heartbreak)."

C.) and A.) (I think)

Step-by-step explanation:

You can infer that she is insane by C.) because B.) proves that she is not necessarily insane, because she isn't doing any harm to others or acting crazy, just she has a belief that she is better than everyone else. D.) is showing her mourning over the loss, which would not prove her insanity, just her feeling of regret, which can even prove the point otherwise. A.) proves her insanity furthermore because just because her pride was hurt, she felt hatred towards her own children, which is why (I assume) she threw her own kids in the river.
