B.)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.

C.)MRS. HALE. Well, I guess John Wright didn’t wake when they was slipping that rope under his neck.

I suggest you to go with this one: B.)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. I'm prety sure It's correct.

Answer: B.)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.

This sentence is the one that suggests that Mrs. Wright may have had a motive for killing her husband. The sentence states that, before getting married (when she was Minnie Foster), Mrs. Wright was a lively girl, who used to wear pretty clothes and sing in the choir. The assumption is that she does not do those things anymore. The person responsible for this is her husband, as he is controlling and abusive. To Mrs. Hale, this might be the reason why Mrs. Wright wanted to kill her husband.
