Explanation:
"Although he thought that she was the best looking girl in the school, he was, understandably, afraid to talk to her" is an introductory clause. Introductory clauses are dependent clauses that set the stage for the main part of the sentence (the independent clause). A comma should be placed after an introductory clause (school,). Then, the adverb "understandably" is between commas because it is a supplement, so it is okay for it to be set off with punctuation.
Explanation: it’s not d because 1. there mother shouldn’t have to do everything for them, and she definitely won’t be able to for their whole lives (hence, letter A). 2. C wouldn’t work. how would they communicate if all they do is argue anyways? 3. B is the answer ahaha. HOPE THIS HELPED :)
