Which work is by Sarah Orne Jewett?

• A. They Have Yarns
• B. Snow-Bound
• C. The Town Poor
• D. A Republic of Prairie Dogs

Answer: (C)

Know the author’s usual focus. Sarah Orne Jewett is celebrated for her stories about everyday life in New England towns, often portraying ordinary people with careful attention to community, dialogue, and local detail. The Town Poor matches that pattern as a story centered on life and people in a town, reflecting Jewett’s interest in social dynamics and the human side of small-town life. In contrast, Snow-Bound is a well-known poem by Whittier about winter and family; A Republic of Prairie Dogs is a modern science piece about animals; They Have Yarns isn’t a Jewett work. So The Town Poor is the work by Sarah Orne Jewett.
