According to this passage, Margarita’s thoughts help the reader infer that Mrs. Flowers “thinks of Momma as a friend”. Evidence is shown in the passage that when Momma and Mrs. Flowers are talking, Mrs. Flowers is giggling but not to make fun of Momma’s way of speaking but because of what Momma is telling her. Also, by mentioning in the text that they engaged in an “<em>intimate conversation</em>” shows that Mrs. Flowers is not embarrassed or does not feel superior to Momma. Instead, what this passage shows is that Margarita is embarrassed by Momma’s way of speaking: “<em>I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me</em>”.

Taking the whole poem into account, I think the correct answer must be C.
The jar is a small, common, impersonal object, but in Stevens' view, it affects the nature, depriving it of its inherent wilderness. Although it is one of a thousand, it still has the power and dominion over nature. Its meaningless existence leaves a negative trail in this world. If the jar was regarded as faceless a person living in a highly commercialized, industrialized world, and the nature as freedom, the parallel would be all the more effective.
