Answer 2

Answer:

d.if she were to upset her tutor, jefferson stresses how extremely bad this event would be, possibly one of the worst things his daughter could ever do.

Explanation:

"....and that her displeasure or disapprobation on any occasion will be an immense misfortune which should you be so unhappy as to incur by any unguarded act, think no concession too much to regain her good will.."

Her displeasure or disapprobation are words that refer to the tutor's possible reaction. These words are emphatic, which shows Jefferson's concern  and then he uses immense misfortune , which makes a point of the effect bad behaviour may cause. Think no concession too much to regain her good will tells that her daughter would not deserve any pardon if she misbehaved.
