Which statement describes how she faces winter for her household?

• A. She fears winter and keeps indoors.
• B. She is not afraid of the snow because her household is clothed with scarlet.
• C. She hides from the cold to protect her wealth.
• D. She prays for warmth and safety.

Answer: (B)

Facing winter in this context is about readiness and provision. In the verse, the virtuous wife isn’t ruled by fear of the cold because she has prepared for it: her household is clothed in scarlet. The scarlet garments symbolize warmth, dignity, and sufficient resources, showing she has supplied her family with what they need to endure the winter. The emphasis is on practical care and prudent provision—having warmth and protection in place—rather than giving in to fear, hiding wealth, or praying without action. That connection between preparedness and security is why this statement fits best.
