Answer:

Option B. Based on the lines of dialogue, it can be inferred that Jo's character  is self-reliant and strives to be a good person.

Explanation:

The excerpt shown in the question reflects how self-reliant Jo is, as she does not want to ask for money to anyone, specially her aunt. she mentions she hates to borrow money as much as her own mother, and she expresses how she is determined to get enough money to save it and use it to help her wounded father, even if it's hard or difficult. This shows that Jo does not want to depend on anyonelse but herself, and also shows her generosity and her striving to be a good person, as she does not want the money for herself but to help her father and family during a hard time.

How might a woman's legal status in the early 20th century affect her
grandymaker [24]
National and state constitutions included little mention of women. Even though Hoosier women were enumerated in the census which paved the way for statehood and had to share the burden of taxation, they were not allowed to vote or hold office. Rights for which a revolution was fomented were denied women – as they were to slaves, "lunatics," and "idiots."

Further exacerbating the situation, rights normally enjoyed by women were often withdrawn when she married. Indeed, a woman gave up so many civil and property rights upon crossing the threshold that she was said to be entering a state of "civil death." This unhappy circumstance arose partially because American (and Indiana) law was based upon English common law. Predicated on "precedent and fixed principles," common law had dictated a subordinate position for women. Married women generally were not allowed to make contracts, devise wills, take part in other legal transactions, or control any wages they might earn. One of the few legal advantages of marriage for a woman was that her husband was obligated to support her and be responsible for her debts. It is highly doubtful that these latter provisions outweighed the lack of other rights, particularly in the area women faced the most severe restriction, property rights.
