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 ASAP BEST ANSWER WILL GET BRAINLIEST~
Rasek [7]
Muir starts off talking about how long he had been sitting by the Calypso-so long that he wasn't tired or hungry anymore. We, as the readers, think he has a bad attitude about sitting by this plant.We think this because it seems like he is describing his wait as painful(he is WAY past being tired or hungry). However, the next sentence contrasts with this idea. When the sun sets, Muir suddenly gets this jolt of purpose and energy, stronger and determined than ever before. Can you see the pattern here? As for the dialogue, it is a woman speaking, and she lives in the log house he sees. She has a negative attitude towards the swamp, while Muir has a positive one. She wonders why he would want to be in a dangerous place like the swamp, explaining that a body was found in it. She then goes on to say that it was God's mercy that Muir was able to get out of the mucky swamp.I hope this helps!
