Answer 1

A) Mothers often sacrifice a lot for their children's happiness.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem “Dance Mama Dance” by Daniel Beaty tells us about the sacrifice a mother made for her children's happiness.

How she helped them get through the challenging times without ever complaining. The speaker also made us aware of how she succeeded in being the sole provider for her family.

Her sacrifice was emphasized in lines 30-31: Dance Mama Dance / For all the dreams that you forgot so we could make it through the day”.
