Which of these inferences about the speaker is best supported by the following passage (lines 3–9)?

Question

"I’d like to welcome you to the one and only,
the greatest America." Says the lady
in the white shirt behind a desk.

"Now honey, please fill out all these papers,
and don’t forget to send us your story,
why you came here, your hopes and expectations.
We wish you a happy life."
Answer choices for the above question

A. She is grateful to be welcomed to America by such a kind lady.

B. She is annoyed by the tone of the woman welcoming her.

C. She may be being processed by an immigration agency as she enters the United States.

D. She is afraid she will be denied entry to America.

Answer 1

The best-supported inference about the speaker is:

C. She may be being processed by an immigration agency as she enters the United States.

This inference is supported by the context of filling out papers and providing personal information about her reasons for coming, which are typical procedures in an immigration process. The tone of the welcoming lady, while potentially interpreted in different ways, aligns with a formal process rather than a personal or informal welcome.
