Read this excerpt from "collision course."

but mama said she'd had enough. my father, dmitri, didn't want us to go. they had split when i was five. he refused to even listen to mama’s arguments for taking me to modesto, where she got a job, so there was no way to reach any kind of compromise or agreement. so we wound up in family court again and let the attorneys hash it out. finally, the judge said that she believed moving would be beneficial for me and for mama, and so we left.

based on this excerpt, which term best describes how the author’s mother feels about their new future?

hopeful
worried
doubtful
excited

Explanation:

We don't know enough to distinguish between hopeful and excited. If I had written the question, I would choose hopeful. She is pretty disgusted with her ex "But Mama said she'd had enough." She made plans to go the Modesto -- she even had a job all lined up.

I would pick hopeful. Excited is too much of a leap.
