Read the excerpts from susan glaspell's play trifles and from her short story "a jury of her peers." both excerpts narrate a particular event in adifferent manner. which statement best describes the difference between glaspells short story and the play? from trifles: county attorney: well, mr hale, tell just what happened when you came here yesterday morningmorninghale: harry and i had started to town with a load of from "a jury of her peers": "well, mr. hale," said the county attorney, in a way of letting what was past and gone go, "tell just what happened when you came hereyesterday morning."mrs. hale, still leaning against the door, had that sinking feeling of the mother whose child is about to speak a piece. lewis often wanderedalong and got things mixed up in a story. she hoped he would tell this straight and plain, and not say unnecessary things that would just makethings harder for minnie foster. he didn't begin at once, and she noticed that he looked queer—as if standing in that kitchen and having to tellwhat he had seen there yesterday morning made him almost sick."yes, mr. hale? " the county attorney reminded."harry and i had started to town with a load of potatoes," mrs. hale's husband began. a.the play focuses on more significant details of the narrative than the short storyb. the short story describes the mental state of each character better than the play. c.the play illustrates the characters in a more explanatory manner than the short storyd. the characters in the play have different views than the characters in the short story.

its A

Explanation:

I would contend that the right answer is the B) The short story describes the mental state of each character better than the play.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that options A and C can be easily discarded, since it is the short story, "A Jury of Her Peers," and not the play, the one that provides more detail and explanations, judging at least from these excerpts. Since the play does not provide any information about the characters, it is not possible to know if they have different views than their counterparts in the short story, so option D can also be discarded. Option B is, therefore, the correct option, since the short story does describe the mental state of the characters—the county attorney and Mrs. and Mr. Hale—in more detail, helping the reader to better understand them. It describes, for instance, how the attorney posed the question ("in a way of letting what was past and gone go") and Mrs. Hale's concern about the way her husband would reply to it.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
