Question

what effect does using arrange instead of one of its synonyms have on the play?
○ arrange shows that mrs. hale is concerned with correcting mrs. wright’s mistakes.
○ arrange implies that mrs. hale is furious that things are out of order.
○ arrange suggests a proper way to stack the pans and shows sympathy for mrs. wright.
done ✔

Explanation:

In the context of analyzing word choice in a play (likely "Trifles"), "arrange" has a more gentle, purposeful connotation. The first option's "correcting mistakes" and the second's "furious" misinterpret the tone. "Arrange" here implies a thoughtful, proper action (stacking pans) that reflects Mrs. Hale’s sympathy for Mrs. Wright’s situation, aligning with the play’s themes of empathy and understanding women’s struggles.

Answer:

C. Arrange suggests a proper way to stack the pans and shows sympathy for Mrs. Wright.
