RUTH. No-I'm just sleepy as the devil. What kind of eggs do you want?
WALTER: Not scrambled. (RUTH starts to scramble the eggs) Paper come? (RUTH points impatiently to the rolled up Tribune on the table, and he gets it and spreads it out and vaguely reads the front page) Set off another bomb yesterday.
Based on the stage directions, which can you most likely infer about Ruth?
A. She is annoyed with Walter for some reason.
B. She doesn't listen to anything Walter says.
C. She doesn't feel like preparing eggs sunny side up.
D. She is angry at Walter from a previous argument.
Answer: The correct answer is option A. "She is annoyed with Walter for some reason"

THe stage direction indicate that Ruth is annoyed at Walter for some reason, when she starts scrambling the eggs after his command, and then points out to the rolled up tribune, she is doing it to make him see that she did the job he commanded her to do, and letting out that she is annoyed with him.
