Answer and Explanation:
A region of my city was going to go through a reforestation process and was calling for volunteers who could help in this process. When I heard about the need for volunteers, I thought it might be a good activity for me and my brothers to participate together, since we had free time and reforestation has a very noble goal.
I explained this to my brothers and told them where the reforested area would be, they didn't like the idea at first, but when I started explaining the importance of this type of project and how it would be beneficial for our city for the next generations, they agreed to participate, at least for a few hours.

Option A is the correct answer because it shows Haemon's reasonable nature seeing that it is quite different from the stance of his stubborn father Creon.
In the lines, he tells his father that he should listen to the people even though the citizens are too scared to air their opinions aloud but they are less than happy with the treatment of Antigone and they are in solidarity with her.

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.
