Read this excerpt from "A Jury of Her Peers" by Susan Glaspell. Which line shows Mrs. Hale's attitude of pity and compassion for

other women?
She [Mrs. Hale] dashed her hand across her eyes. Then, seeing the jar of fruit on the table she reached for it and choked out:
"If I was you I wouldn't tell her her fruit was gone! Tell her it ain't. Tell her it's all right—all of it. Here—take this in to prove it to her! She--she may never know whether it was broke or not."
She turned away.
Mrs. Peters reached out for the bottle of fruit as if she were glad to take it—as if touching a familiar thing, having something to do, could keep her from something else. She got up, looked about for something to wrap the fruit in, took a petticoat from the pile of clothes she had brought from the front room, and nervously started winding that round the bottle.
"My!" she began, in a high, false voice, "it's a good thing the men couldn't hear us! Getting all stirred up over a little thing like a—dead canary." She hurried over that. "As if that could have anything to do with—with—My, wouldn't they laugh?"
Footsteps were heard on the stairs.
"Maybe they would," muttered Mrs. Hale—"maybe they wouldn't."

Answer:

''If I was you I wouldn't tell her her fruit was gone! Tell her it ain't. Tell her it's all right -- all of it.''

Explanation:

This expression shows pity and compassion because its intent is to make another person feel better. Mrs. Hale clearly does not want the owner of the fruit to know that her fruit is gone, and so is willing to not tell her the truth in order for her to feel better.

The pity that Mrs. Hale feels is not direct nor clear, but she is certainly thinking of someone else when she makes the comment.

Read the following text from a student essay. How can the writer best improve his or her sentence fluency? Spending time in natu
ANEK [815]

Answer:

by using a simpler sentence structure

Explanation:

The writer could best improve his or her sentence fluency by using simpler sentence structures.

For example, the writer could divide the underlined sentences into shorter sentences to avoid using too many clauses in one sentence.

Spending time in nature is a great way to relax after a long, busy day at work or at school. When they explore the great outdoors, people who feel stressed at the end of the day can refresh themselves with a walk in the woods, where they can find themselves feeling happier and more content, which is always a good thing. While enjoying the fresh air and natural light, they can look at wild animals, birds, flowers, trees, and interesting cloud formations. When people need a break, whether they live in the country or the city, where public parks are available, they will find that nature, which is all around

us, is the perfect place to get away from it all.

in at least one hunderd words, describe how Kamala Markandaya both drwas upon amd questions the cultural traditions of india in
trapecia [35]

Answer:

In at least one hundred words, describe how Kamala Markandaya both draws upon and questions the cultural traditions of India in the early chapters of Nectar in a Sieve.I think she questions the traditions in a couple ways. Firstly when her two eldest sisters are married off, they are given great gifts but when her and her last older sister are married, they are married into a lower social class and recieve little gifts. She also dipises that she came from a wealthy home and married a farmer and many of her relatives call it a disgrace. She questions the traditions when she has a girl first and then does not a have a second (as of chapter 3) so her husband Nathan does not have a son to take care of the land after him.

She does follows the traditions when she does not call her husband by name but only by "husband". This is expected of women no matter the class they are in. In the story she also is married off to man who she doesnt know which is customary to the Indian culture. Lastly, I'd say she does draws upon the way of life there when she helps deliver her neighbor's wife's child.

sorry its kinda long but it is basically what I wrote for my english class.

Hope this helps and please mark as brainliest if it does!
