Answer:

"a second chance to do what is right" is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Roger's pair of blue suede shoes is the most potent symbol in "Thank You, Ma'am." In the context of the story, they symbolize money, desire, and the dream of a better life. For Roger, they symbolize a kind of luxury that he wouldn't be able to afford otherwise, this leads him to try stealing.

Thus Roger needed a second chance that Mrs. Jones gave him to make thing right.

Hope this helps!
