Read the passage.

The dirt was orange, striped in places where crumbs had slipped through the cracks when Mami swept. Papi had left a few boards down the center of the room and around his and Mami's bed, to stand on until the ground was swept and flattened. Mami was afraid to come into the house. There were small holes in the dirt, holes where snakes and scorpions hid. She turned swiftly and threw herself off balance so that she skipped toward the kitchen shed.

Which inference is correct?

A) Mami doesn't want to lose her balance

B) She is afraid of snakes and scorpions (I think it's this one but not sure)

C) Mami is high and mighty

D) Mami is embarrassed by the crumbs left behind after sweeping
