Question

Explanation:

In the excerpt, Daisy says "I think everything's terrible anyhow" and claims "everybody thinks so—the most advanced people". Her self - description as "sophisticated" is linked to this pessimistic view of the world. Option B focuses on being well - read and well - traveled, but the excerpt emphasizes her negative view of the world rather than her knowledge or travel. Option C is a judgment about her actual sophistication level, not what she means by the term. Option D is about her unhappiness despite having everything, which is not related to her meaning of "sophisticated" here.

Answer:

A. She has a pessimistic view of the world she lives in.
