Explanation:

1. Pride in being a candidate would make Millicent more likely to accept the invitation, not decline it, so this option is incorrect.

4. Waiting to confront members does not inherently imply she will turn down the invitation; it only signals conflict, not the final choice to decline.

B. her beginning to question the way the group runs its operations.
