Based on this excerpt from Susan Glaspell's Trifles, which sentence best states what Mrs. Hale thinks about Mr. Wright? MRS HALE: (looking about) It never seemed a very cheerful place.

COUNTY ATTORNEY: No—it's not cheerful. I shouldn't say she had the homemaking instinct.

MRS HALE: Well, I don't know as Wright had, either.

COUNTY ATTORNEY: You mean that they didn't get on very well?

MRS HALE: No, I don't mean anything. But I don't think a place'd be any cheerfuller for John Wright's being in it.

A.
He was a very rude person.
B.
He worked too hard.
C.
He had a cheerful nature.
D.
He was too simpleminded.
E.
He was not cheerful.

E

Explanation:

If Mrs. Hale thinks John wouldn't make the place any more cheerful, that tells us either the place is already cheerful (which we can eliminate from the first line of dialogue) or he's not a cheerful person. Using process of elimination we can assume he's not a cheerful person.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
