Read the following scene from trifles. county attorney. here’s a nice mess. (the women draw nearer.) mrs. peters (to the other woman). oh, her fruit; it did freeze. (to the lawyer). she worried about that when it turned so cold. she said the fire’d go out and her jars would break. sheriff. well, can you beat the women! held for murder and worryin’ about her preserves. county attorney. i guess before we’re through she may have something more serious than preserves to worry about. hale. well, women are used to worrying over trifles. (the two women move a little closer together.) in a film production, where should the camera focus if the director wants to emphasize the men’s emotions? on the women’s actions on close-ups of the women on close-ups of the men on the characters’ costumes

on close-ups of the men

The question asks about the camera's focus in order to emphasize the men's emotions. The options that would focus on the women's actions and close-ups of the women would be incorrect because they do not reveal anything about the men. The characters' costumes may reveal something about the men in terms of their social status, but they would not reveal the men's emotions, so this answer is also not correct.

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.
