Question

Use the passage below to answer the question. The passage is a summary of a story.

A woman discovers an old letter that tells a family secret. It turns out that the wealth the family has enjoyed for generations came from illegal activities. The woman agonizes over whether she should tell the rest of her family, who believe that their ancestors were honest shopkeepers. As she is mulling over this decision, a journalist contacts her. He is writing a newspaper article about the history of local businesses and wants to write about her ancestors. If the woman tells him the truth, it will embarrass her family. If she doesn’t, she will be perpetuating a lie. Finally, she decides not to speak to the journalist. Instead, she writes and publishes an article that reveals the truth about her ancestors and details a plan to use some of the family’s resources to help the community.
