Answer

Brief Explanations:

Leah found reading to Mrs. Fairfax confining, but Jane feels warmly toward Mrs. Fairfax, draws closer, and hopes her company is agreeable. This contrast shows Jane is suited and pleased to be Mrs. Fairfax’s companion. Other options lack textual support: no fear of Mrs. Fairfax, no focus on others’ liking Jane, no mention of Jane seeking sad people.

Answer:

D. Jane is both well suited and pleased to be Mrs. Fairfax’s companion.
