A Jury of Her Peers
Which of the following quotes best supports the answer to Part A?
- A“I got a feeling that I ought to make some conversation, so I said I had come in to see if John wanted to put in a telephone; and at that she started to laugh, and then she stopped and looked at me--scared."” ( Paragraph 59)
- B“Their eyes met—something flashed to life, passed between them; then, as if with an effort, they seemed to pull away from each other. A moment Mrs. Hale sat her hands folded over that sewing which was so unlike all the rest of the sewing. Then she had pulled a knot and drawn the threads.” ( Paragraph 167)
- C“'Well, ladies,' said the county attorney, as one turning from serious things to little pleasantries, 'have you decided whether she was going to quilt it or knot it?'” ( Paragraph 229)
- D“'It was an awful thing was done in this house that night, Mrs. Hale... Killing a man while he slept—slipping a thing round his neck that choked the life out of him.' Mrs. Hale’s hand went out to the bird-cage. 'His neck. Choked the life out of him.'” ( Paragraphs 249-251)
