Question

in part two of trifles, which quotation most supports the theme that women are often unaware of the suffering of other women?
○ mrs. peters. oh-i dont know. i dont know as she was nervous. i sometimes sew awful queer when im just tired.
○ mrs. hale. it would, wouldnt it? (dropping her sewing.) but i tell you what i do wish, mrs. peters. i wish i had come over sometimes she was here.
○ mrs. peters. i know what stillness is. (pulling herself back.) the law has got to punish crime, mrs. hale.
○ mrs. hale. i tell you, its queer, mrs. peters. we live close together and we live far apart.

Explanation:

This question asks which quote from Trifles best supports the theme that women are often unaware of other women's suffering. The quote from Mrs. Hale ("I tell you, it's queer, Mrs. Peters. We live close together and we live far apart.") directly addresses the isolation between women that leads to this lack of awareness, as they are physically near but emotionally disconnected, making them unaware of each other's hardships.

Answer:

MRS. HALE ...I tell you, it's queer, Mrs. Peters. We live close together and we live far apart.
