Answer:
Chris's life would be easier if he handed his son over to his ex-wife, or handed him over to a foster home.
Step-by-step explanation:
This question is about "Pursuit of Happiness" where we know the story of Chris. Chris has a lot of economic difficulties and because of that, his wife decides to leave and start her life over. Chris accepts his wife to leave, but refuses to let her take their child. She leaves on her own and gets a job in New York, but Chris is not so lucky and has no money to feed himself or the child.
The child becomes a big financial burden for Chris, but he doesn't have the courage to hand the child over to his mother, or hand him over to a foster home, because Chris himself grew up in a foster home and knows the suffering of living without parents close by. He is very attached to the child and decides to fight to raise him.
