Read the passage. "Dorothy and Dad" with her winter coat on and buttoned up, Dorothy turned, disappointed and angry and confused, to face her father. To her, his decision was wildly unfair. all of her friends were going to the lake that night; why shouldn't she be allowed to go, too? After all, she was 17 years old, and it wasn't as though it was snowing that hard outside. there was barely three inches on the ground. "i can't believe you," she muttered. dad was taken aback by his daughter's reaction, and he had to bury his instinct to comfort her. the truth was, he knew how much she'd been looking forward to going to the lake with her friends. it was practically all she'd talked about for weeks. and all afternoon long, dad was hoping the snow would stop just as much as she was. But it hadn't, and the weather was simply too bad. If it kept up for another hour or so, the roads could become too icy to drive on, and where would that leave Dorothy? She'd either be stranded at the lake, or she would be out driving in treacherous conditions and risking her life. Dad folded his arms across his chest. "I know it's not what you want to hear, Dottie," he said, using her nickname to soften the blow, "but it's just not safe to be out in weather like this." dorothy shook her head. against her will, she remembered the car accident that dad's sister, rose, was in two winters ago. It had been on a night not so different from this one, and rose had been laid up with a broken leg for two months. dad had said rose was lucky that it was just her leg that she hurt. "iIf it's not snowing tomorrow, can i at least still meet up with kathy and dan?" "if it's not snowing and the roads are clear, of course," dad said. then, sensing an opportunity, he continued: "i was gonna make myself some hot cocoa. can i make you some?" dorothy sighed, then nodded, and then hung her winter coat back up on the hook by the door. question which description best characterizes how dad treats dorothy in this passage?
