Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.
For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my parents’ home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do:the fastest,shortest easiest road,especially when I was alone with four noisy,restless kids who hates confinement and have strong opinions about everything.
Road trips felt risky,so I would drive fast,stopping only when I had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.
Q: Why did the author use to take freeways to her parents’ home?
B. It would be faster and safer
C. Her kids would feel less confined
The answer given is B. I cannot find the clue of being "safer".
Is C acceptable based on the underlined sentence?
thanks for your help!
