This question is based on Literary Principles. 'Otto's wife was a potter. Nessa remembered Sandra Davis telling her this. Not just a wife, not just a mother...

Answer Details

In the passage above, it can be inferred that Otto's wife was a potter in addition to being a wife and mother. The passage suggests that the women in Nessa's childhood were expected to perform domestic tasks such as cooking, cleaning, and making nests. However, Otto's wife is described as a potter, which implies that she had a profession beyond these traditional domestic roles. The phrase "not just a wife, not just a mother" suggests that she had additional responsibilities and interests, and her profession as a potter is mentioned specifically. Therefore, it can be inferred that Otto's wife was a potter in addition to being a wife and mother.
