The correct answer is B. She does not want to dwell on something that cannot be changed.

Explanation:

"Daughter of Invention" is a short story by Julia Alvarez that tells the story of a Dominican Republic family that has to leave the country and immigrate to the U.S. which leads to different conflicts and obstacles as they try to begin a new life and adapt to a new culture. In the case of the excerpt presented the mother believes she had invented a suitcase with little wheels but she soon realized it was the invention of someone else, because of this she feels upset but then realize there is nothing she can do about the situation and because of this she tells to her daughters "There is no use trying to drink spilt milk, that's for sure" which means the mother will not waste time in some situation that cannot be solved or change instead she will  spend her time in more important issues she is concerned about. This means, in this excerpt the mother Laura means to express to her daughters "she does not want to dwell on something that cannot be changed".

Answer:

In Umuofia, the Christians are led by a kindly white man named Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown restrains the zeal of some of the fanatical converts. A convert named Enoch is particularly violent, always stirring up trouble; Brown strives to moderate Enoch's excesses. Mr. Brown is a wise and patient man; he befriends many of the local great men, and earns their affection. He spends a good deal of time with Akunna; they speak through an interpreter on the subject of religion. Neither man converts the other, but Mr. Brown learns much about the local religion and concludes that missionary work should be subtle and indirect: direct confrontation will not work. He also tries hard to get people to send their children to the Christian school. At first, people only send their lazy children. But more and more people begin to go as they realize that the ability to read and write opens up great social mobility. The DC is surrounded by Africans from Umaru; these literate subordinates earn high wages and how power in Umuofia. Mr. Brown's school begins to produce results.
