Final answer:
The creature put a locket in Justine's dress in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to frame her for the murder of William.
Step-by-step explanation:
In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, the creature placed A. a locket in the folds of Justine's dress. This act was meant to frame her for the death of William, Victor Frankenstein's younger brother.
The locket contained a picture of Caroline Frankenstein, William and Victor's mother, and when it was found on Justine, it served as false evidence against her, leading to her conviction and execution.
In the excerpt provided, it is mentioned that a man turned over a faded bunch of flowers tied with a blue ribbon and a lock of hair. However, it does not specifically state that the creature put anything in the folds of Justine's dress.
Therefore, none of the options A. A locket, B. A letter, C. A dagger, or D. A flower can be definitively determined as the answer based on the given information.
