Question

"Hey, Shauna! What do you think of the new sports car?" Missy asked her friend excitedly. She pointed to the gaudy model on the showroom floor.
Shauna replied, "Oh, I suppose it's adequate."
"Are you out of your mind? That's a rather firm opinion to take with this well-engineered piece of machinery."
"I don't see the need to replace my current vehicle," Shauna defended herself. "The car I have is just fine."
"You're so traditional when it comes to buying things," Missy criticized. "You don't care at all about being in style, do you?"

B.
Shauna is outdated, not current.
C.
Shauna follows established customs.
D.
Shauna believes in a particular style.

Answer 1

B. Shauna is outdated, not current.

Missy's follow-up line ("You don't care at all about being in style, do you?") makes clear she means Shauna prefers older, less fashionable choices rather than being up-to-date.
