I need to concentrate.”"Yeesh!” Anastasia exclaimed. Finally giving her attention to the scene outside, she smiled. "Wow. It’s beautiful, isn’t it?” she said."Never mind,” Keri moaned, letting go of the wheel again to turn off the radio herself. "Look, I’m going to get off this highway. I don’t know where we’ll end up, but we have to do something.”
Answer

B

C

D

Anastasia calls the storm beautiful and reacts with a smile, while Keri is worried and says she needs to concentrate and get off the highway. Their opposite reactions make Anastasia’s dialogue contrast with Keri’s dialogue. The correct choice is “as a contrast to Keri’s dialogue.”
