question 15 (1 point)
in scene 1, stella tells blanche, \youll get along fine together if you just try not to - well - compare him with men that we went out with at home.\
what can be inferred about this statement?

a stella is embarrassed by stanleys upbringing and financial struggles and she knows that blanche is also looking for a life partner
b stella is aware of the class difference between her and stanley and she chose love over money
c stella loves stanley more than she loves other men from her past
d stella is upset that blanche is asking so many questions about stanley and feels as though her sister is attacking her

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option a: The statement focuses on not comparing Stanley with past men, not on Stella's embarrassment about Stanley's upbringing/Blanche's life - partner search. Eliminate.
• Option b: Stella's advice to not compare Stanley with past men (from a different class/background) implies she is aware of class differences between her (and her past) and Stanley, and she chose love (Stanley) over the money - associated men from her past. This fits.
• Option c: The statement is about helping Blanche get along with Stanley, not about Stella's love for Stanley vs others. Eliminate.
• Option d: The statement has no indication of Stella being upset about Blanche's questions or feeling attacked. Eliminate.

Answer:

b. Stella is aware of the class difference between her and Stanley and she chose love over money
