Explanation:

In Passage A, the mother - daughter interaction shows a moment of connection after a bit of a plea from the mother. There is no indication of the older generation struggling to accept change or control, no focus on misunderstandings driving them apart, and no suggestion that silence is better. Sharing perspectives openly seems to lead to a positive moment, as the mother's words and actions result in a smile from the daughter.

Answer:

C. The passages show that when family members share their perspectives openly, they build stronger relationships.
