Read this excerpt from Eighty Years and More: Reminiscences, 1815-1897.

When I was eleven years old, two events occurred which changed considerably the current of my life. My only brother, who had just graduated from Union College, came home to die. A young man of great talent and promise, he was the pride of my father's heart. We early felt that this son filled a larger place in our father's affections and future plans than the five daughters together. Well do I remember how tenderly he watched my brother in his last illness.

Which best retells the central idea in this excerpt?

Stanton’s brother was a graduate of Union College.
Stanton’s brother passed away from an illness.
Stanton’s life was shaped by two events in her childhood.
Stanton had four sisters and one brother.
