Solution

The correct option is E wisely patient
Maman-Nainaine's attitude toward Babette can best be described as being 'wisely patient'. None of the other adjectives provided fit the context. The entire tone of passage paints Maman-Nainaine's character with wisdom. The conversations between the god-mother and child also display this patient attitude of Nainaine's and in the way she teaches patience to Babette- by telling her to wait until the figs have ripened to visit her cousins. The fact that Babette has learnt patience is seen when she waits an entire day after discovering the ripe state of the figs to let Nainaine know about them. Clearly, option E is the answer.
