Read the following passage from “The Women’s Bath.” Which of these ideas is most closely related to the theme in these lines? *
"Although girls usually side with their mother, I had a strong feeling of sympathy for my grandmother: old age had caught up with her since her husband had died some time before and left her a widow, and little by little her authority in the home shrank as my mother's authority gradually extended. It is the law of life: one takes, then one hands over to another in one's turn. But that does not mean we obey the law readily and willingly."

Now sympathy is a form of compassion, but not exactly consolation, because then we would be described the act in the text, but we don't.
I have more confidence in A than in B
