Which line from the text best supports the inference that Mama doesn’t argue with Papa once he has made up his mind? 


 “Mama paused. ‘Cricketer,’ she said scornfully. ‘What do we want from a cricketer?’ ‘What do we want from a newsstand?’ said Papa. ‘We got it—let’s keep it.’ There was something resigned, but nice, about Papa.”

“‘So you spend less time playing with cricketers, you’ll sell more papers,’ (said Mama.) ‘Oh how now,’ Papa soothed her. ‘Mario can’t help it if nobody buys.’”

 “‘He could keep it here in the newsstand,’ suggested Papa.”

“‘Oh well—’ she sighed. And Mario knew it would be alright. Mama’s saying ‘oh well’ was her way of giving in.”
