What inference can be made based on the highlighted sentence in the passage? Tess of the d'Urbervilles
by Thomas Hardy
After Tess had settled down to her cow, there was for a time no talk in the barn. Not a sound interfered with the purr of the milk-jets into the numerous pails, except a momentary exclamation to one or other of the beasts requesting her to turn round or stand still. The only movements were those of the milkers' hands up and down, and the swing of the cows' tails. Thus they all worked on, encompassed by the vast flat meadow which extended to either slope of the valley. "To my thinking," said the dairyman, rising suddenly from a cow he had just finished off, snatching up his three-legged stool in one hand and the pail in the other, and moving on to the next hard-yielder in his vicinity; "to my thinking, the cows don't give down their milk today as usual. Upon my life, if Winker begins keeping back like this, she'll not be worth milking by midsummer."
"'Tis because there's a new hand come among us," said Jonathan Kail. "I've noticed such things before."
"To be sure. It may be so. I didn't think of that."
"I've been told that it goes up into their horns at times like this," said a dairymaid.
"Well, I don't know about that," said the dairyman, "but these cows do certainly keep back their milk today. Folks, we must sing them a song or two. That's the only cure for it.".
("I've been told that it goes up into their horns at times like this," said a dairymaid.)

A. )A new milker has to be careful because a cow might get spooked and use its horns.

B. )The new cowhand doesn’t know how to use a three-legged stool to milk a cow.

C. )When cows get nervous, they can't be milked as easily.

D. )Because Tess is present, the workers must sing to the cows.

Which two parts of this excerpt from mary shelley’s frankenstein reveals information about the setting? (it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils.) with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, (i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out) when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs. (how can i describe my emotions at this catastrophe), or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care i had endeavored to form? his limbs were in proportion, and i had selected his features as beautiful. beautiful! great god! (his yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; ) but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same color as the dun-white sockets in which they were set, his shriveled complexion and straight black lips.
