C. It reminds the reader of the knotted rope used in the murder.

This question refers to the short story "A Jury of her Peers," or even to the short play "Trifles", both written by Susan Glaspell and both telling the same story.

• Mr. Wright is murdered by his own wife, strangled with a knotted rope.
• As the men investigate the house, their wives stay in the kitchen paying attention to details that go unnoticed by the men.
• The women find a quilt that Mrs. Wright was making. They notice how uneven the stitches are and, connecting this piece of information to other findings, realize the motives of the murder.
• The women say that Mrs. Wright was going to knot the quilt.
• The men do not understand that the women have found evidence and made such connection. They do not realize that the word "knot" being used is ambiguous, referring to both the manner of making the quilt and the knotted rope.
• In conclusion, the use of the phrase "knot it" reminds the reader of the knotted rope. The best option is letter C.
