Solution
The correct option is B Without mediation
Option C is the best answer. Akira “came directly, breaking all tradition,” (line 1) when he approached Chie and asked to marry her daughter, and he “ask[ed] directly,” (line 58) without “a go-between” or “mediation,” because doing otherwise would have taken too much time.Although 'frankly', 'confidently' and 'with precision' can mean 'directly' none of these meanings fit with given context. Hence options A, B and D are incorrect.
