Marie st. clare had taken no notice of the child’s gradually decaying health and strength, because she was completely absorbed in studying out two or three new forms of disease to which she believed she herself was a victim, it was the first principle of marie’s belief that nobody ever was or could be so great a sufferer as herself; and, therefore, she always repelled quite indignantly any suggestion that any one [sic] around her could be sick. based on this excerpt, which of the following best describes marie st. clare? select all that apply. a: anxious b: egotistical c: naive d: misled

The right answers are B) Egotistical and D) Misled.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answer, it can be added that after reading this excerpt from Uncle Tom's Cabin it is possible to infer that the character of Marie St. Clare is egotistical, since she is only concerned with her own health, and is neglecting her daughter's, which is certainly more alarming. Likewise, it is possible to infer that she has misled beliefs, since she believes that she is the one that suffers the most, and she refuses to believe, and very angrily, that others around her may be ill.
