Answer: A) Lange describes a situation that is more desperate than the true circumstances that Thompson’s daughter explains.
Explanation: In the first excerpt from the quotation by Dorothea Lange about the photo “Migrant Mother” from Years of Dust, we can see Lange describing a terrible situation of the mother (Thompson) and her children, struggling to buy food. In the second excerpt Thompson's daughter explains that her mother was an active mother and a leader, so from the given excerpt we can see that Lange describes a situation that is more desperate than the true circumstances that Thompson’s daughter explains.
