In "A Jury of Her Peers" Mrs. Hale says, "What a pretty box! I'll warrant that was something she had a long time again-when she was a girl" when she finds the box in Mrs. Wright's sewing basket.

Which line from the story shows why she would assume that?

a. "Farmers' wives have their hands full, Mr. Henderson.

b. She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively-when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls, singing in the choir.

c. I've seen little enough of her of late years. I've not been in this house-it's more than a year.

d. She-come to think of it, she was kind of like a bird herself. Real sweet and pretty, but kind of timid and-fluttery.
