A wise daughter shall bring an inheritance to her husband: but she that liveth dishonestly is her father's heaviness.

• A. A wise daughter brings an inheritance to her husband.
• B. A dishonest daughter is a burden to her father.
• C. A daughter inherits from the father.
• D. A husband should provide the inheritance.

Answer: (A)

The verse sets up two contrasting outcomes based on a daughter’s conduct within the family: a wise daughter contributes to her husband by bringing an inheritance to him, while a daughter who lives dishonestly weighs down her father. The option that mirrors the positive action—the wise daughter bringing an inheritance to her husband—best captures the primary idea the line emphasizes: virtuous, beneficial conduct within the marriage relationship. The other line of the verse notes that dishonesty makes a daughter a heaviness to her father, which is accurate but describes the negative consequence rather than the main focus of the statement used in this item.
