I need help with this question please
Which details in "Mother Son" point to the conclusion that the mother has had a hard life?
A. She declares that she has been “a-climbin' on.”
B.She says that life has had “tacks in it, / And splinters.”
C. She warns, “Don't you set down on the steps.”
D.She has been “reachin' landin's, / And turnin' corners.”
I think it's B
You are welcome! :)
Is this the poem you mean?

If so, the answer is easy to find. Let me know.
yes that is the poem
"Mother to Son"
Which answer do you think is correct?
Yes, B.
They said that in the first post. Anyway,
A is not right because it talks about the mother getting through life, not that it was hard.
B is right because tacks and splinters refers to the hard things in her life.
C doesn't talk about how the mother's life was hard, and
D doesn't either. It talks about, again, that she got through the problems,
So, yes.
