Answer 2

A. She speculates about the value of life and Puritan values.

Step-by-step explanation:

In chapter 13, we learn that Hester has been changed by her ordeal. Although she has reintegrated into society to some extent, and people appreciate her, she has become harsher. She also reflects more on life and society. This leads her to question whether the way of life of the town and the Puritans is really the best way to live.
