Answer:
✔️detached, careless, and abusive
Explanation:
The sentence that best describes Jim's mother is "detached, careless, and abusive."
From "The Story Of The Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain, Jim's mother is known to be careless and abusive. She often spanks Jim to sleep and boxes his ears.
Below is an excerpt from the story that supports my answer:
"She was rather stout than otherwise, and she was not pious; moreover, she was not anxious on Jim's account. She said if he were to break his neck it wouldn't be much loss. She always spanked Jim to sleep, and she never kissed him good-night; on the contrary, she boxed his ears when she was ready to leave him."
The above excerpt shows how abusive Jim's mother is.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
