Read the excerpt from part one of trifles.
sheriff. nothing here but kitchen things.
(the county attorney, after again looking around the kitchen, opens the door of a cupboard closet. he gets up on a chair and looks on a shelf. pulls his hand away, sticky.)
county attorney. here's a nice mess.
(the women draw nearer.)
mrs. peters (to the other woman). oh, her fruit; it did freeze. (to the lawyer). she worried about that when it turned so cold. she said the fire'd go out and her jars would break.
what do the underlined stage directions suggest about the women, mrs. hale and mrs. peters?
a. they are totally fascinated by what the county attorney is saying.
b. they are being polite by attempting to move nearer to the speaker.
c. they share a bond as women and are instinctively curious.
d. they are attempting to hide something by distracting the speaker.

C) They share a bond as women and are instinctively curious.

Explanation:

C) is the correct option. As we see in the text, the women stay huddled together, showing that they share a bond. They draw nearer to the attorney because they are curious of what he has found in the cabinet.

answer: go in to it prass it and you should see a delate singe

explanation:

the passage can be best described as: "the british legislature extended an unwarranted jurisdiction".

we can say that because the text clearly states how the people of the colonies warned the british about their excessive desire to rule over them, without taking into consideration the difficulties their brothers had experienced in america: they struggled to establish the colonies, to adapt to new types of weather, fight with the natives, etc., and how they now see (or then saw) the only way out was to cut all ties with the british, since they ignored the people's petitions.
