Explanation:

To answer this, one would need to read paragraphs 13 - 17 to look for clues about Lauren's trust, respect, or interactions with Mrs. Sampson. If Lauren seeks advice from Mrs. Sampson on handling a situation with Jerry, it implies trust. Without the actual text, we assume based on the nature of a guidance - counselor relationship that seeking advice shows trust.

B. Lauren trusts Mrs. Sampson to provide advice on how to handle the situation with Jerry.
