it helps readers conclude what each woman is thinking.

Explanation:

Hearing character voices provides vocal cues like tone, pitch, and pace that reveal unstated thoughts and emotions. Visual details (clothing, movements) or speaker tracking don't rely on audio, but vocal delivery hints at internal states silent reading might miss.

Answer:

It helps readers conclude what each woman is thinking.
