When Rex tells Jeannette "he loved [her], that he never would have let [her] drown, but you can't cling to the side your whole life, that one lesson every parent needs to teach a child is. If you don't want to sink, you better figure out how to swim," she immediately accepts this answer. What does this reveal about Jeannette?

• She is the more capable of all of the Walls children.

• She does not have survival instincts and fails to notice when there is danger present.

• She is perceives everything her father tells her as true, rather than seeing the reality, as she is overly trusting.

• She is reliant on her father's comforting to make her feel better.
