read the following passage from "black girl."

used to being waited on hand and foot, madame had yielded to her wifely duties, and clumsily fulfilled the role of mother. as for a real vacation, she had hardly had any. she soon persuaded her husband to return to africa.
on her return, grown thin and thoroughly exasperated, she had conceived a plan for her
next vacation. she put want ads in all the newspapers. a hundred young girls answered her choice fell on diouana, newly arrived from her native bush. producing two more children during the three years that diouana worked for her, between the last holiday and the one to come, madame sang the praises of france. for three thousand francs a month,
any young african girl would have followed her to the end of the earth. and to top it off,
from time to time, especially lately, madame would give diouana little gifts of this and
that, old clothes, shoes that could be mended. this was the insurmountable moat that separated the maid and her employer. according to the passage, what most likely divides the maid from her madame?

a. madame is resentful that
diouana is more capable in the household than she is.

b. diouana is a native from the bushland of africa and does not know much about france.

c. diouana is ungrateful for her new job and the generosity that madame has continually shown her.

d. madame's gifts are intended to bribe diouana to stay but also to remind diouana of her inferior status.
