Read the following passage from "My Father Writes to My Mother." Years went by. As my mother's ability to speak French improved, while I was still a child of no more than twelve, I came to realize an irrefutable fact: namely that, in the face of all these womenfolk, my parents formed a couple. One thing was an even greater source of pride in me: when my mother referred to any of the day-to-day incidents of our village life-which in our city relatives' eyes was very backward-the tall figure of my father-my childhood hero-seemed to pop up in the midst of all these women engaged in idle chit-chat on the age-old patios to which they were confined. Which word best describes the speaker's tone in these lines? A. awestruck B. haughty C. optimistic D. reverent
