A) She has a large art collection that she hopes to expand.
B) She plans to return to the university and teach about art.
C) She is generous and genuinely cares about helping others.
D) She hopes to work in the field of medicine or research someday.
c. To answer it correctly, you must combine the information given in the question with what you read in the passage. Because Natasha used to work in a museum and recognizes valuable oil paintings, she probably had a pretty good idea that the artwork was worth a lot of money. The charity that now has the painting donates its money to the children’s hospital, which uses some of the money for research. Natasha was obviously excited about the painting being given to the charity, which is probably because the money it raises will be given to the hospital. If she is so excited, she must really care about the people who will benefit from the donation.
