The correct answer is: She takes after their mother.

Explanation:

No Gumption is a chapter from Russell's autobiography where he talks about difficult times he faced to support his family. Although his sister was younger than him, he was really bold, brave and strong, more than he was. Doris was a responsible little girl who in this case looks like their mother, she is worried about the money he spent in that apple, and about his eating before upper. She looked more mature and responsible than him, as little mother.
