I offer Mrs. Patel, my friend's mom, some hot chai. I am proud to have mastered the South Asian art of making tea with milk, sugar, and spice. Today, I am excited to have a native of India try my tea. I even pull out a tray and my nicest mug to treat my guest with the utmost respect. Her eyes become wide as she takes the mug from the tray. "Wow! Even the mugs are twice the size we have back home," she utters, gasping. "Do you mind serving me only half a cup?" I give in to her request and offer her half a mug of tea.

This is just the beginning of my realization. Like many of my peers, I have become wasteful. Which of these sentences would the author most likely agree with? A. People should only have what they really need. B. We must visit other countries while we are young. C. It is important to have different sizes of mugs. D. People should try drinking more flavors of hot tea.
