Which of the following best describes a message or theme in "The Daughters

of the Late Colonel"?

people can lose the ability to think for themselves

Explanation:

Since the beginning of the story, Constantia and Josephine, two daughters of the late colonel, show the inability to decide and think in certain circumstances. They choose not to talk about potential problems and possible solutions, so they rather choose to fight and discuss. Even if they are the responsible ones for their family after their father died, they lost the ability to make decisions and thinking for themselves.
