Question

In the story Little Women, one family brings breakfast to a cold and hungry family on Christmas morning. Read this passage and then answer the question that follows: My girls, will you give them your breakfast as a Christmas present?" They were all unusually hungry, having waited nearly an hour, and for a minute no one spoke, only a minute, for Jo exclaimed impetuously, "I'm so glad you came before we began!" "May I go and help carry the things to the poor little children?" asked Beth eagerly. "I shall take the cream and the muffins," added Amy, heroically giving up the article she most liked. Meg was already covering the buckwheats, and piling the bread into one big plate. "I thought you'd do it," said Mrs. March, smiling as if satisfied. What can you infer about Mrs. March from this text?

Answer 1

I believe the correct answer is she expected the girls to help the other family.
You can see in the excerpt that she asked them if they would give their breakfast to the hungry family as a Christmas gift, and when they did that, she said "I thought you'd do it,' which implies that she knew and hoped that they would help the other family.
