Which line of dialogue best indicates that Jon is devoted to his mother? Jon to the Rescue by Tirzah Tyler Jon lived with his mother. She had a weekend job selling cosmetics at their house.

"OK, Mom, I'll get the brushes for you," Jon said. He hopped on his bike and pedaled as quickly as he could to the beauty supply store, which was five blocks away.
