Explanation:
In this excerpt, we learn about Liz, a girl who was neglected when young. Due to this fact, she ends up with a life in which she is constantly neglected and abandoned. Towards the end of the story, we learn that Liz has killed herself by drowning in the river. We learn that this is a quick escape from a life that has not been kind to her. The quote that best emphasizes this is the last one, as it describes how the death might have been "muddy" but it was also quick, which is what she needed the most.
