Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The passage doesn't discuss Mama being disappointed in her children or choosing between them. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Mama talks about loving someone most when they are at their lowest, considering their struggles ("what hills and valleys he come through"). This shows compassion (understanding and caring for others' hardships). This matches.
• Option C: There's no mention of Mama wanting more respect from her children. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Mama isn't expressing disappointment in herself for not teaching her children better. She's giving advice on loving and measuring others. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. Mama believes it is important to show others compassion
