Answer:
The correct answer is D. It characterizes the County Attorney as someone desirous of showing respect to women, even if he does not mean it.
Explanation:
The question refers to Glaspell's 'A Jury of Her Peers,' in which a woman kills her husband because of her unhappiness with the marriage. Namely, the woman felt trapped, helpless, cornered in this marriage even though the husband didn't physically or mentally abuse her. She felt as though her freedom was taken from her and it all culminated in her killing him, even though he was supposedly a good man.
The police comes to investigate the scene, along with the County Attorney and several neighbors. These neighbors, namely women, understand the motives behind the murder and are actually the ones to solve it whereas the men don't want to take them seriously. The County Attorney shows 'the gallantry of a young politician,' meaning that he pretends to respect what the women are trying to say, even though he doesn't really respect them. Politicians are stereotypically known to lie and hide their true thoughts, which is why the term is used here.
Answer:
Grendel's mom fights more; pins him and has dagger.
Beowulf fought in both battles.
Explanation:
The difference between the battle between 'Beowulf and Grendel's mother' and 'Grendel and Beowulf' is that 'Grendel's mom is more attacking, she carries a dagger and even pins him.' In return, Beowulf counters her with the sword and breaks her collarbones. The importance of the similarity between the two distinct battles is that 'Beowulf took part in both of them.' Apart from the battle with Grendel's mother, he had an intense battle with Grendel too where the latter attempts to swallow him. However, Beowulf was successful in trashing him down.
