The fact that women often feel pressured to conform to society's expectations is a common feminist theme found within literature. as this theme appears within part two of trifles, which pair of symbols most strengthens this theme? a) towel, tableb) bird, birdcagec) breadbox, catsd) quilt, jar of fruit

D.

Explanation:

Susan Glaspell in her one-act play "Trifles" had used many symbols to depict the life of women in a society.

In Part two of the act, she had used the symbols of "quilt" and "jar of fruit" to symbolize the life of Minnie and other women in a society. Women in society are usually concerned with household works, making quilts, filling jar bottles with fruits jam, etc.

In part two, the quilt symbolized Minnie's life which is neatly woven, taking all the pieces of her life. The second symbol was, jar of fruit, which was laid outside in need of heat.

So, the correct answer is option D.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
