Select the correct text in the passage. Which line of dialogue in this excerpt from Susan Glaspell's Trifles suggests that the attorney believes women are incapable of plotting?

COUNTY ATTORNEY: No, Peters, it's all perfectly clear except a reason for doing it. But you know juries when it comes to women. If there was some definite thing. Something to show—something to make a story about—a thing that would connect up with this strange way of doing it—

(The women's eyes meet for an instant. Enter HALE from outer door.)

HALE: Well, I've got the team around. Pretty cold out there.

COUNTY ATTORNEY: I'm going to stay here a while by myself, (to the SHERIFF) You can send Frank out for me, can't you? I want to go over everything. I'm not satisfied that we can't do better.

SHERIFF: Do you want to see what Mrs Peters is going to take in?

(The LAWYER goes to the table, picks up the apron, laughs.)

COUNTY ATTORNEY: Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out. (Moves a few things about, disturbing the quilt pieces which cover the box. Steps back) No, Mrs Peters doesn't need supervising. For that matter, a sheriff's wife is married to the law. Ever think of it that way, Mrs Peters?

MRS PETERS: Not—just that way.

"Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out."

Explanation:

Susan Glaspell's short play "Trifles" revolves around the murder of Mr. Wright where his wife has been accused of doing the deed and put on trial. The focus of the scene is set in the scene of the crime where the attorney, the sheriff, and Hale were going through the stuff along with their wives.

From the scene given in the question, it is evident that the men did not really think the women are capable of making discoveries, let alone, a crucial one. One evidence is that the lawyer did not think the things that Mrs. Peters has picked to take with her are important or even related to the case. He merely asserts it as "they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out", little realizing that it was the women who discovered the reason and possibly uncovered the whole situation relating to the murder.

Thus, the line of dialogue that suggests that the attorney believes women are incapable of plotting is "Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out."

free time is when all my homework and chores have been done for the day and i am "free" to do things that i enjoy doing.

usually i spend time watching television. as my favorite tv shows come on at specific times, i make sure that i finish my homework and chores well before the shows. otherwise i will have to miss them. mostly i manage to watch the shows but sometimes extra homework or chores may cause me to miss a show or two, but it is rare. anyhow if i know that i am definitely not able to catch a show in time, i will just set the video recorder to tape the show sothe evening when the weather is fine, i sometimes go for a stroll around the neighborhood with my friends. this is the time when most the neighbors have come home from work or school. we say hello to those whom we know. they are mostly friendly people and they acknowledge our greetings. once in a while we come upon unfriendly neighbors but we just ignore them and carry on. that i can watch it later.
