Answer 1

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

Susan Glaspell in her one-act play "Trifles" had used many symbols to depict the life of women in a society.

In Part two of the act, she had used the symbols of "quilt" and "jar of fruit" to symbolize the life of Minnie and other women in a society. Women in society are usually concerned with household works, making quilts, filling jar bottles with fruits jam, etc.

In part two, the quilt symbolized Minnie's life which is neatly woven, taking all the pieces of her life. The second symbol was, jar of fruit, which was laid outside in need of heat.

So, the correct answer is option D.
