What was marmee most concerned that the girls do when she left?

Marmee concerned that the girls do when she left that they relax while she's out i looked up

The correct answer is "that they stay busy with chores and work"

Explanation: I got it correct on Odyssey ware :))

Quote directly from the book:

"Don't grieve and fret when I am gone, or think that you can be idle and comfort yourselves by being idle and trying to forget. GO ON WITH YOUR WORK AS USUAL, FOR WORK IS A BLESSED SOLACE. HOPE AND KEEP BUSY, and whatever happens, remember that you never can be fatherless."

i pretty sure it is old

explanation:

boccaccio employs the voice of his narrator dioneo to represent his ideas on the tension between masculinity and femininity.  while dioneo excites the members of the brigata and recognizes women for their unique skills and independent ideas, he concludes the decameron with a story reminiscent of the society from which these young aristocrats escaped, revealing misogynistic overtones.  dioneo boccaccio is able to explore the gender disparity which is inherent in 14th century florentine society.
