Solution
The correct option is A pitiable
Here, "poor" is used in a tone of pity when Georgia thinks of the other girl who would replace her in the paper (that is if they did hire a girl). Georgia pities the girl as she would have to "slave through the years she should have been frivolous". Thus, in this context, 'poor' means "pitiable." Option A is the answer.
