Inquiring

In·​quire

Inquire. An intransitive verb defined as to put a question : seek for information by questioning by Merriam Webster Dictionary. The short story ” A Jury of Her Peers” tells a story of Mrs.Hale murdering her husband and a group of girlfriends protecting her by hiding the crime. Susan Gaspell included the line “”How did she–look?” the county attorney was inquiring.” At first glance I did not understand what the word meant. I tried to re read it a couple of times to get a better understanding. After using context clues, I figured out what the author was trying to convey. The author was trying to express a sense of questioning during the interrogation.
