A Jury of Her Peers
Reread the first two paragraphs—what is the author’s likely purpose for including this introduction?
- A To highlight just how difficult it is to properly maintain a kitchen and household
- B To compare Martha Hale’s habits with Mrs. Wright’s, making Mrs. Hale’s judgement seem hypocritical
- C TO foreshadow a similar scene in the Wrights’ kitchen and later support Mrs. Hale’s idea that something sudden must have happened
- D TO foreshadow Mrs. Hale’s participation in Mrs. Wright’s crime, setting them as equals or mirrors of each other
