Incomplete question.
When Mama talks about moving into a nice apartment somewhere, she is really just trying to make Helen and Maud Martha feel better about moving. Which sentence from the passage best supports this assertion?
A “These things might soon be theirs no longer.”
B “‘Somewhere on South Park, or Michigan, or in Washington Park Court.’”
C “Those flats, as the girls and Mama knew well, were burdens on wages twice the size of Papa’s.”
D “‘And I have other friends that wouldn’t come down this far for anything, unless they were in a taxi.’”
Answer:
C “Those flats, as the girls and Mama knew well, were burdens on wages twice the size of Papa’s.”
Step-by-step explanation:
We can make this assertion because earlier in the story we are told, that "Papa was to have gone that noon, during his lunch hour, to the office of the Home Owners’ Loan. If he had not succeeded in getting another extension." Which means the family was struggling financially to pay for their house.
Hence, the expression made by Mama clearly was meant to make the girls feel good because the cost of homes in those places are as the author puts it, "twice the size of Papa’s [present situation]”
