Based on the passage, Callie is focused on helping her mother by finding solid nourishment for her. While she does ponder about different types of insects that can be used for food, particularly grasshoppers and locusts, the specific action she is taking when she grabs the big soup kettle suggests that she intends to collect something to make soup. However, when looking at the answer choices provided, the option "collect locusts in the kettle" aligns best with her intentions of finding food, as she is taking the kettle outside presumably to gather something for cooking.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**collect locusts in the kettle**.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
**collect locusts in the kettle**.
