答案和解析

答案：A

解析：

The sentence indicates that Sondra knew that Mark often did not "follow through" and do things he had promised to do. Therefore, it makes sense to suggest that Sondra "appreciated the offer" but was "more wary than grateful," or more distrustful and cautious than thankful, when Mark pledged to help with the project.
