I think D is the answer that makes most sense
Answer: lacking strength
Explanation:
The highlighted word is ''frail''.
The definition of frail in relation to a human being is someone who is physically weak and fragile.
In this context therefore, it is logical to assume that the word means that the person being referred to (the mother) is lacking strength. This would make sense because the mother is getting old and people get weaker as they age.
Based on the excerpt given above, it can be inferred that:
She cares deeply for Jim, she is used to feeling short on money and she is happy in her relationship with Jim. That she care for Jim is made obvious by the way she save toward buying a gift for him and the way she talks about him. The part of the passage which reads, 'expenses has been greater than..........., shows that she is used to feeling short on money.
