Read the excerpt from "The Revolt of Mother."
The old man slapped the saddle upon the mare's back.
"Look here, father, I want to know what them men are
diggin' over in the field for, an' I'm goin' to know."
"I wish you'd go into the house, mother, an' tend to
your own affairs," the old man said then
Based on the clues in the excerpt, the word
tend most likely means
O "sit quietly."
O "take care of."
O"be satisfied."
"make up your mind."
