Question

Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Janie’s coffee-and-cream complexion and her luxurious hair made Mrs. Turner forgive her for wearing overalls like the other women who worked in the fields. She didn’t forgive her for marrying a man as dark as Tea Cake, but she felt that she could remedy that.

Based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that Mrs. Turner
judges others based on their skin color.
accepts the decisions that other people make.
believes divorce is easy to attain.
rejects Janie as a friend because of her appearance.

Answer 1

Based on the excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that Mrs. Turner **judges others based on their skin color**. The passage indicates that Mrs. Turner forgives Janie for her appearance in overalls, but she cannot forgive her for marrying someone with darker skin like Tea Cake. This suggests that Mrs. Turner holds prejudiced views regarding skin color.
