He says that’s what he can’t understand.

Answer 1

Answer:

I would say that the excerpt from part one of Trifles that suggest that Mrs. Hale believes Mrs. Wright may have had a motive for killing her husband is the second one: "MRS. HALE. She used to wear pretty clothes and be lively, when she was Minnie Foster, one of the town girls singing in the choir."

Explanation:

In these lines, Mrs. Hales suggests that Mrs. Wright might have had something to do with the murderer by pointing out how the wife had changed before and after the marriage with Mr. Wright. She somehow thinks that it is accurate to bring that fact into the present because she obviously thinks the two facts are related. She is giving importance, during that particular investigation moment, to the fact that Mrs. Wright used to be a happy person who had an active social life, she is kind of suggesting something, she is not just giving a casual opinion, and that is why I chose the second option.
