Answer 2

Hey! Let's get that answer! 

A: is incorrect! 
B: When you read it outloud in the place of disposed, it really doesn't make sense unless it was "ordered." 
C: When read outloud, this option does flow nicely. 
D: Ah, this is where it gets hard. When in school, sometimes the english is old timey, and this would be used. 

Let's try this! 

"I resisted all the way: a new thing for me, and a circumstance which greatly strengthened the bad opinion Bessie and Miss Abbot were inclined to entertain of me." 

"I resisted all the way: a new thing for me, and a circumstance which greatly strengthened the bad opinion Bessie and Miss Abbot were to get rid of entertain of me." 

And it looks like your answer is C!
