Read the passage given below and answer the question/ complete the statement that follow by choosing the correct option out of the given one.
Amy was the eldest child of a large family. At the age of fifteen they put her out to work at Greenland Farm. I attended Mrs. Smith, the landlord's wife, and saw that girl there for the first time. Mrs. Smith, a gentle person with a sharp nose, made her put on a black dress every afternoon. I don't know what induced me to notice her at all. There are faces that call for attention by a curious lack of something particular in their appearance.
The only peculiarity I perceived in her was a slight hesitation in her speaking, a sort of preliminary stammer which passes away with the first word. When sharply spoken to, she was apt to lose her head at once; but her heart was the kindest'. She had never been heard to express a dislike for a single human being, and was tender to every living creature. She was devoted to Mrs. Smith, to Mr. Smith, to their dogs, cats; and as to Mrs. Smith's grey parrot, its peculiarities exercised upon her a positive fascination. Nevertheless, when that outlandish bird, attacked by the cat, shrieked for help in human accents, she ran out into the yard, stopping her ears, and did not prevent the crime.
For Mrs. Smith this was another evidence of her stupidity; on the other hand her lack of charm, in view of Mr. Smith's well-known, unbecoming vulgar nature, was a great recommendation. Her short-sighted eyes would swim with pity for a poor mouse in a trap. It is very true that there is no kindness of heart without a certain amount of imagination. She had some. She had even more than necessary to be moved by pity.
