Answer:

The answer is D.

Explanation:

This is a passage from a book<em> Black Girl</em> which is written by Ousmane Sembène.  The story follows a young Senegalese girl who started to work for a rich French family in Antibes. She expected to be a nanny and have a good life, but it turned out that they wanted her as a servant and treated her very harsh.

 Reading this text, we see that Madame is sick of doing everything alone, so she hires a maid, a girl called Diouana who has African roots. She is given a good salary, some old clothes and shoes she can still use.

Answer A is not true, because Madame is not resentful, she wanted help and she got it.

Answer B - although she might not much about France we can not conclude that from this passage

Answer C - this behavior of Diouana is not mentioned in the text

Answer D is correct - she doesn't treat Diouana respectfully, if she really wanted to give her clothes, she would have given her new clothes, not the used one, in this way she establishes her social dominance. So, she gives her high salary in purpose to bribe her into coming to France, so she could have free time.
