The correct answer is C. Susan Sowerby gives a jump rope to Mary, so she can play with it. Susan is Martha's mother, Mary's maid. She and her family are poor, but that does not stop her from having a kind nature. She thinks that Mary should be free and play, like any other child her age. These characters are part of The Secret Garden, a book written by Frances Hodgson Burnett in 1910.
