there are different meanings of soil. here are a few with some examples :
-"She soiled herself because her parents wouldn't take her to the bathroom." You can first assume it has to do with the bathroom because it says so in the text, now another definition of soil is dirt, or the top layer of the earth. using this definition you can assume it is dirty. Then another clue would be that SHE soiled HERSELF. Using these clues you can assume it means that she had to use the BATHROOM and because her parents wouldn't let her she went to the bathroom on herself.
-"The Gardner put some new soil down to help cover the gopher holes." You can now assume that soil has to do with gardening because it says so in the text. You can also infer that they used it to cover gopher holes. You can now get a better understanding because gophers like to dig holes in dirt. Using these clues you can predict soil is dirt.
Answer:
The men including the Sheriff Mr. Peters and Mr. Hale seem to have no concern for the opinions of the womenfolk. Moreover, the women are left to defend their own kind, to the extend of hiding evidence for a woman accused of the crime of murdering her own husband.
Explanation:
Susan Glaspell's short story <em>A Jury of Her Peers</em> / <em>Trifles</em>, <em>A One Act Play</em>, tells the story of Mrs. Wright who had been accused and kept in captivity over the death of her husband Mr. Wright. And the men who had gone to look for evidence in the Wrights' home including the Sheriff are sure that their wives will not find any evidence even if they come across one. This clearly shows the gender roles in the society, where the women are thought to be incapable of doing anything worthwhile.
But contrary to the belief, it is the women (Mrs Hale and Mrs. Peters) are the ones who find all the hints that show how guilty Mrs. Wright was. Their reflection on the life of the accused woman also reveals how women were treated in general. And while the men couldn't come across any evidence to prove her guilt, the women decided to hide whatever they found for they sympathize and relate to her situation and what it must have led her to do the deed. Therefore, it can be rightly said that the men in general seemed to not give any importance to the women in the society, leaving the womenfolk to fend for their own kind even regarding a murder case.
I believe the answer is A, Both poems explore the idea of pursuing new experiences.
The reason behind that, is simple. In the first poem, you can see that "The Lady of Shalott" had seen a boat, and went along the path which took her. In the second excerpt, there are interactions between the two, which lead them on a "broad steam".
I hope that I helped :)
I think it's like talking or thinking completely off topic, but I am not sure
