Susanna's statement that Dr. Griggs has suggested Reverend Parris "look to the unnatural things for the cause of it" shows that
even educated people in this society believe in witchcraft
As it is used in Parris's statement "I cannot blink what I saw," the word "blink" is best understood to mean
ignore
Parris's words to Abigail "now my ministry's at stake...your cousin's life" are significant primarily because they
show the dire nature of the situation
Abigail's declaration that "They want slaves...for any of them" shows that she
I (believes she is above household work) and III (regards native of Barbados as inferior)
Abigail's character is developed by means of all of the following EXCEPT
details about her dismissal
From the last paragraph of the note about Thomas Putnam (beginning "So it is not surprising"), the reader can infer that some people of the time period
regularly forged names on court documents
The playwright's attitude toward Proctor is
I (admiring) and II (sympathetic)
In the first paragraph of Proctor's description, the statement "but there is evidence to suggest" serves primarily to
foreshadow that Proctor will be put on trial
In the discussion with Abigail about looking up at Abigail's window, Proctor's words "I may have looked up" show that
there is some truth in Abigail's words
Giles Corey's first words, in response to Rebecca's admonition to "keep the quiet" show him to be primarily
defensive

realistic
Which of the following LEAST demonstrates Parris's insecurity and paranoia?
Man! Don't a minister deserve a house to live in?
Proctor's two replies to Giles (beginning "Is it the Devil's fault..." and "I never said no such thing...") could be best described as
patronizing and sarcastic
Hale's response to Parris's statement that the books are heavy in an example of
wordplay
In Proctor's last sentence before he exits ("I hope...in Salem"), the understod antecedent for "it" is
sense
In Hale's description of the book he consults ("Here is all...shown his face!"), the irony lies in the fact that Hale
directs his love of intellectual pursuits toward matters of superstition
The first sentence of the narrative description of Giles Corey ("Old Giles...the others") presents an example of
foreshadowing
The narrator's attitude toward Giles Corey is
I (admiring) and III (amused)
In Giles's first speech after the narrative description ("I'm not sayin'...y'see"), the word "admire" could best be restated as
