The answer is C. She has different priorities and passions than her father. At first, Feld wants her daughter to marry Max, a college boy who can provide money. However, Miriam does not enjoy the company with Max. She does not love him and this is where the conflict starts, her contradicting feelings against her father’s dreams for her.
