Trifles: The Rise of Modern Feminism on the Stage, Part 1

Question 5 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

What is ironic about this conversation?

Answer
A
The attorney thinks that there might be valuable evidence in the kitchen, while the sheriff thinks that there are only kitchen things.
B
The men are sure that the evidence is in the barn and upstairs, but the evidence is not there.
C
The law officials decide that the kitchen lacks any important evidence, but all of the important evidence is contained there.

Explanation

The irony is that the law officials dismiss the kitchen as unimportant, even though it contains the key evidence the women notice. Their confidence that nothing valuable is there leads them to overlook what matters most. This matches the choice that says the important evidence is contained in the kitchen.
