请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
My daughter, Emma (in the 7th grade), started back to school last week. She told me a boy named Jake who suffers from an eating disorder and is extremely overweight. As you might expect, he is the center of many jokes. Jake gives the impression that he's not nice to other people as well mostly because of the fact that he's constantly picked on.
For several nights this week Emma came home from school upset about the fact that Jake gets picked on so much. She also mentioned that he had no school supplies as his family could not afford them. He constantly would be asking to borrow paper which just gives kids even more reason to pick on him.
One night Emma was extremely upset about this situation, not only because Jake was picked on but that he also had no supplies. We sat together that evening and discussed the situation in great detail. We devised a plan for Emma to engage Jake in a conversation and to ask Jake what he needed for supplies—with her telling him that she had extra supplies she would like to share.
