Which excerpt from Black Boy best demonstrates the idea that Wright’s family feels frustrated and trapped in their financial situation?

Choice C best shows the family feeling both frustrated and trapped: they repeatedly discuss moving to Granny’s, but “nothing came of it.” The suggestion that they may not have enough money for railroad fare shows that poverty prevents them from changing their situation. The other excerpts describe hunger, food, or buying coal without showing the same blocked attempt to improve their circumstances.
