Question

read the excerpt from part one of trifles.
county attorney. how did she seem to feel about you coming?
hale. why, i dont think she minded—one way or the other. she didnt pay much attention. i said, “how do, mrs. wright, its cold, aint it?” and she said, “is it?”—and went on kind of pleating at her apron. . . . and then she—laughed. i guess you would call it a laugh.
how does this dialogue further develop the idea that mrs. wright may have had a motive for killing her husband?
○ it suggests that she has actually gone insane.
○ it suggests that she finds death humorous.
○ it suggests that she did not care about his death.
○ it suggests that she is hiding her real emotions.

Explanation:

• Analizar cada opción:
• Opción 1: La diálogo no indica locura, sino una reacción extraña.
• Opción 2: No se dice que vea la muerte como humor, sino una reacción inusual.
• Opción 3: "No le importó" no es lo mismo que "no le importó la muerte", la reacción es más de ocultar emociones.
• Opción 4: Su reacción (plegar delantal, risa extraña) sugiere que oculta emociones reales, lo que apoya un posible motivo.

Answer:

D. It suggests that she is hiding her real emotions.
