Final answer:

Easter Sunday became a problem for Jess's family because they were mourning the loss of a young woman in the family, as suggested by the descriptive passage of a funeral scene with a mention of a broken heart. Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage that most directly suggests an answer to the question of why Easter Sunday became a problem for Jess's family is the one describing a scene where a family is dealing with a funeral on Easter.

The passage uses vivid imagery to describe the young woman lying in a casket, surrounded by violets and tube-roses, with hints that her death was due to a broken heart. As the family is in mourning, it is implied that Easter Sunday brought about the challenge of coping with the loss of a loved one. Option B
