Answer
A

C
The shattered fruit jar symbolizes the love and affection that Mrs. Wright once felt for Mr. Wright.

Explanation

The broken fruit jar represents more than damaged preserves: it reflects the unhappy, broken home in which Mrs. Wright lived. Her expected role as a wife and homemaker did not bring her happiness, and the jar’s damage points to the strain and loss in her domestic life. So the best answer is that it symbolizes the broken and unhappy home in which Mrs. Wright lived.
