To accurately determine which idea is supported by the excerpt from the article about Nellie Bly, one would need to analyze the specific details and context provided in that text. Since I do not have access to the excerpt, I can offer guidance on how to approach this question.
1. Look for evidence that indicates the attitudes of psychiatrists toward their patients: If the text describes neglect or a lack of concern, it may support option **a.**
2. If the psychiatrists are described as feeling threatened or taking steps to protect their image, that would align with option **b.**
3. If there are indications that the professionals were simply too overwhelmed to provide adequate care, option **c** would be supported.
4. Lastly, if there is evidence that suggests attempts to silence or limit scrutiny from the public, then option **d.** would be the best fit.
Review the specifics in the excerpt to choose the answer that best reflects the evidence provided. If you can supply the text or some of the details, I'd be glad to assist further!
