Your answer is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
What do the following lines from the passage mainly reveal about Lizabeth?
"Suddenly I was ashamed, and I did not like being ashamed. The child in me sulked and said it was all in fun, but the woman in me flinched at the thought of the malicious attack that I had led."

B. Lizabeth wishes that she and the neighborhood kids had gotten the chance to kill all of Miss Lottie’s marigolds.
C. Getting older meant that now Lizabeth realizes what poverty her family lives in.
D. Lizabeth feels more like a woman because she is bored by summer and ready to go back to school.
Answer:
The correct answer is A. Lizabeth knows she is maturing because she is aware of the consequences of her actions.
Explanation:
"Marigolds" is a short story by author Eugenia Collier. The main character is Lizabeth, a 14-year-old girl who lives in a very poor neighborhood during the Great Depression. After leading an attack to Miss Lottie's garden of marigolds - the only beautiful thing to be seen in the neighborhood - in which she and other kids threw stones at the flowers and called Miss Lottie a "witch", Lizabeth suddenly feels bad. <u>She has never felt guilty about acting that way before. However, she is growing and maturing, finally crossing the bridge between childhood and womanhood. She can now understand her actions have consequences. She can also empathize, understand how other people feel.</u> The whole short story focuses on Lizabeth's changing her perception of life, the world, her family, and herself.
