Final answer:
Momma in the passage appears passive and possibly submissive, revealed through her silence and lack of assertive response to Daisy's plans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on her actions in the passage, one can infer that Momma may be passive or non-confrontational. Her silence in response to Daisy's announcement suggests either disapproval, indifference, or possibly a reluctance to assert herself in the situation. Momma's "wandering eyes" and failure to provide a direct response when her daughter arranges an excursion with Winterbourne further indicates her potentially submissive nature. This is contrasted by Daisy's assertive behavior, highlighted by her continuation to stroll and hum to herself, seemingly undisturbed by her mother's lack of participation in the conversation. Moreover, her mother's later reference to the practicality of travel arrangements, 'I presume you will go in the cars,' may show some concern for logistics, yet still reveals a resigned acceptance rather than an active role in decision-making.
