In the book "As for Me and My House," when Mrs. Bentley decides to plant a garden, the main problem is that according to propriety, the mistress of the parsonage should not sow (option a).
Of course, I'd be happy to help you with your question on "As For Me and My House".
To find the answer, we need to analyze the given options and consider the context of the story. In this case, we are trying to determine what action the mistress of the parsonage should not do based on propriety.
1. "Sow" refers to the act of planting seeds in the ground. This is a common gardening practice, so it may not be the correct answer.
2. "Weed" refers to the act of removing unwanted plants from the garden. This is also a common gardening practice, so it may not be the correct answer.
3. "Water" refers to the act of providing moisture to the plants in the garden. This is a typical responsibility of a gardener, and it is not explicitly stated that the mistress should not water the garden.
4. "Dig" refers to the act of excavating or preparing the soil for planting. This can be a physically demanding task, and it may not be considered proper for the mistress to engage in such labor.
Considering the given options and the context, the most likely answer is **"d) dig"**. According to propriety, the mistress of the parsonage should not engage in physically demanding tasks like digging.
