Answer

Brief Explanations:

Feminist criticism focuses on gender - related issues, power dynamics, and the role of women. The first passage shows a woman multitasking (nursing a baby while doing household work) which can be analyzed from a feminist perspective in terms of gendered labor and the expectations placed on women. The second passage has no gender - related elements for feminist analysis.

Answer:

The first passage: "As I came close I saw that she carried a baby in a crooked arm and the baby was nursing, its head under her waist out of the cold. The mother moved about, poking the fire, shifting the rusty lids of the stove to make a greater draft, opening the oven door, and all the time the baby was nursing, but that didn't interfere with the mother's work, not with the gracefulness of her movements."
