Answer:
C. The ladies in the church reveal who is playing and singing outside the church. and. D. The church members succeed in getting Candace Whitcomb replaced as lead soprano.
Explanation:
"A Village Singer" is a short story written by Mary E. Willkins, and centers around the replacement of the old lead soprano of the church choir, Candace Whitcomb, with the new, younger one, Alma Way.
During her singing debut, Alma was very nervous, but approving looks from the audience helped her continue and perform greatly (" the people nodded admiringly at each other")
However, her debut was interrupted by another female voice coming from the opened window, which ladies in the church identified as Candace's ("It's her,” the women whispered to each other; they were half aghast, half smiling).
It was Candace's way to revenge on the church members and show her disapproval of the way in which they replaced her ("There had been much complaint, and after long deliberation the church-officers had made known their decision as mildly as possible to the old singer").
Considering her salary, it wasn't large at all ("The salary was very modest, still the village people considered it large for a young woman").
So, now, provided with adequate lines from the story, we can see that C. and D. are the correct answers.
