Read the excerpt from Their Eyes Were Watching God.

Finally she was gone and Janie hurried to her kitchen to put on supper and found Tea Cake sitting in there with his head between his hands.

“Tea Cake! Ah didn’t know you wuz home.”

“Ah know yuh didn’t. Ah been heah uh long time listenin’ to dat heifer run me down tuh de dawgs uh try tuh tole you off from me.”

“So dat whut she wuz up to? Ah didn’t know.”

“Course she is. She got some no-count brother she wants yuh tuh hook up wid and take keer of Ah reckon.”

“Shucks! If dat’s her notion she’s barkin’ up de wrong tree. Mah hands is full already.”

Through Janie’s dialogue in this excerpt, it is reasonable to infer that she is

secretly flattered by Mrs. Turner’s suggestion.

questioning her relationship with Mrs. Turner.

devoted to Tea Cake and unaffected by Mrs. Turner’s opinions.

Answer:

  • devoted to Tea Cake and unaffected by Mrs. Turner’s opinions.

Step-by-step explanation:

The story tells the life of a young lady called Janie who lives with her grandma, Nanny. Janie's mom, Leafy, left Janie with her very own mom Nanny, she fled and left both her mom and girl. Caretaker needs Janie to get hitched to have a man to deal with her for she probably won't almost certainly do it without anyone else. Janie gets hitched to an old rancher man called Killicks. In spite of the fact that she gets hitched to Killicks, his concept of a spouse is all the more a house cleaner since that is the thing that he anticipates from Janie. So for the most part, Janie is extremely miserable and dismal, and she chose to leave Killicks for a man called Jody Starks and they flee.

After at some point Starks dies and Janie is left a generous measure of money, she is finally autonomous and monetarily light. After a timeframe, she meets a man called Vergible Woods known by the name "Tea Cake" and in spite of they have their good and bad times Janie is at long last glad she at long last has the marriage she had constantly needed.
