This question is incomplete because it is not specified, which is the underlined idiom. Just to clarify, the underlined idiom in the excerpt is "Sticks and stones don't break bones"

The answer to this question is C. Words cannot actually hurt a person like sticks and stones can

Explanation:

"Daugther of Invention" is a story that tells the struggle of an immigrant family as they move to the U.S. including the attempts for the mother and other members of the family to adapt to the language and culture. For example, in the excerpt presented, the mother tries to use the idiom "sticks and stones may break my bones" that is used to express physical pain is possible, but words and other non-physical attacks cannot hurt you if you do not let this happen, but instead, she says "Sticks and stones don't break bones". Although, she wants to convey the same meaning and encourage her daughters to continue going to school despite bullying. Thus, the option that best describes the original meaning is C.
