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:

The question asks for the quote that supports the theme of women being unaware of other women's suffering. The third option has Mrs. Hale expressing regret that she did not reach out to the woman (Minnie Foster) when she had the chance, showing she was unaware of her suffering until after the fact, which directly aligns with the theme. The other options focus on personal nervousness, legal duty, or general isolation without the specific element of unawareness of another woman's pain.

Answer:

○ MRS. HALE. It would, wouldn't it? (Dropping her sewing.) But I tell you what I do wish, Mrs. Peters. I wish I had come over sometimes she was here.
