Question

select the correct answer.
which text evidence best supports the inference that the maharani was breaking with tradition?
a. \the maharani of baroda, i believe, had once gone to switzerland...\
b. \... he cleverly kept all of us in the dark as to his intention that i should accompany him to england.\
c. \... for the wife of a ruler to visit england with her husband caused quite a sensation.\
d. \... i may as well confess that i dreaded the experience.\

Explanation:

Option C indicates that a ruler's wife visiting England with her husband was highly unusual and caused a sensation, which directly shows this action went against existing traditions of the time. The other options do not directly link to breaking tradition: A only mentions a trip to Switzerland without context of tradition, B focuses on secrecy of the trip plan, and D expresses personal dread rather than a break from tradition.

Answer:

C. "... for the wife of a ruler to visit England with her husband caused quite a sensation."
