In "The Light of Gandhi's Lamp," by Hilary Kromberg Inglis, which statement best explains how the author's cultural background and personal history influence her response to the police who are holding her sister? Because she was raised by her pacifist parents to engage only in non-violent political protests, she offers the police flowers as a peace offering. Because she knows that the authorities engage in unlawful and immoral behavior, she is confused when the man she meets is cordial and pleasant. Because she was taught by her activist family to be militant and to oppose authority, she is upset and unable to treat the police officer with respect. Because she is a veteran of the struggle against injustice, she sees through the behavior of the police and demands her sister's immediate release.
