Answer: C) she is not strong enough to stand up to the grandmother and D) she is not very bright.

Step-by-step explanation: By reading O'Connor's description of Bailey's wife we can infer that she is not strong enough to stand up to the grandmother, because he describes her as "innocent" and with a "broad face" that description gives the idea of a calm woman who doesn't stand up against anyone. We can also infer that she is not very bright, because O'Connor compares her with a cabbage.
