Read the excerpts from Susan Glaspell’s play Trifles and from her short story “A Jury of Her Peers.” Both excerpts narrate a particular event in a different manner. Which statement best describes the difference between Glaspell’s short story and the play?

From Trifles:

COUNTY ATTORNEY: Well, Mr Hale, tell just what happened when you came here yesterday morning.

HALE: Harry and I had started to town with a load of potatoes . . .

From “A Jury of Her Peers”:

"Well, Mr. Hale," said the county attorney, in a way of letting what was past and gone go, "tell just what happened when you came here yesterday morning."

Mrs. Hale, still leaning against the door, had that sinking feeling of the mother whose child is about to speak a piece. Lewis often wandered along and got things mixed up in a story. She hoped he would tell this straight and plain, and not say unnecessary things that would just make things harder for Minnie Foster. He didn't begin at once, and she noticed that he looked queer—as if standing in that kitchen and having to tell what he had seen there yesterday morning made him almost sick.

"Yes, Mr. Hale?" the county attorney reminded.

"Harry and I had started to town with a load of potatoes," Mrs. Hale's husband began.

A.
The play focuses on more significant details of the narrative than the short story.
B.
The short story describes the mental state of each character better than the play.
C.
The play illustrates the characters in a more explanatory manner than the short story.
D.
The characters in the play have different views than the characters in the short story.
