Hi! Could you please post a picture of the excerpt? :)
The correct answer is D. noun clause.
The clause <em>Maria was not going to show up </em>cannot be independent because it depends on the first part of the sentence. What did Tony realize? - That Maria was not going to show up.
Since it doesn't describe a noun or a verb, it cannot be an adjective/adverb clause either.

In "Mother to Son" Hughes uses a metaphor to describe the life of the mother. In this case, it is an extended metaphor that compares the mother's life to a staircase. Each step symbolizes a part of her life that she had to endure. This metaphor is used throughout the poem to show the meaning of the poem.
