    A. Women feel pressured to conform to roles set by society.

    B. Women artists face difficult paths when pursuing careers.

    C. Women need to feel they are determining their own fate.

    D. Women frequently go unheard in male-dominated societies.

    The answer is D. Women frequently go unheard in male-dominated societies.

    Explanation:

    The feminist theme that is most supported by the excerpt is that women frequently go unheard in male-dominated societies.

    In the excerpt "Trifles," Susan strongly focuses on the discrimination that a woman faces in a male-dominated society. From the excerpt, it is seen that Hale said he doesn't understand how what John's wife says or wants would make any change in John's mind. The statement means that sometimes a woman doesn't have a say in a male-dominated society.
