Answer

The answer is B.

Explanation
Option A: This option suggests that the interviewee is defending her writing against severe criticism. However, the passage does not indicate that the interviewer is criticizing the interviewee's writing, nor does it suggest a defensive tone from the interviewee.
Option B: This option indicates that the interviewee responds to the interviewer's questions with complex, detailed answers. This is a common structure in interviews where the interviewee provides in-depth responses, which aligns with the description provided.
Option C: This option suggests that the interviewee asks questions of the interviewer, encouraging an informal dialogue. While this can happen in some interviews, the passage does not indicate that the interviewee is taking on the role of the questioner.
Option D: This option implies that the interviewee dismisses the interviewer and insists on more substantial questions. There is no indication in the passage that the interviewee is dismissive or critical of the interviewer's questions.
