C. Mrs. Comstock ridicules her daughter for even thinking she could succeed.
In "A Girl of the Limberlost" by Gene Stratton-Porter, Mrs. Comstock shows a lack of support for her daughter Elnora’s ambitions and education. When Elnora faces difficulties at school, her mother's reaction is neither sympathetic nor encouraging. She mocks Elnora’s aspirations, reflecting her own bitterness and practical approach to life, which contrasts with Elnora's optimism and determination.
