Answer 1

The statement implies that Mary Poppins no longer needs our help.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement 'Mary Poppins used to say he needed our help, but now it's too late' implies that Mary Poppins no longer needs our help. The use of the phrase 'used to say' indicates that Mary Poppins had a previous need for help, but the phrase 'now it's too late' suggests that the opportunity to help has passed. This implies that the need for help has been resolved or is no longer relevant.
