Which statement is symbolic of Reverend Hale’s change?
<span>Danforth: Marshal. Herrick stops. When did Reverend Hale arrive?
Herrick: It were toward midnight, I think.
Danforth, suspiciously: That is he about here?
Herrick: He goes among them that will hang, sir. And he prays with them. He sits with Goody Nurse now. And Mr. Parris with him.
</span>Hathorne: Let you question Hale, Excellency; I should not be surprised he have been preaching in Andover lately. Danforth: We’ll come to that; speak nothing of Andover. Parris prays with him. That’s strange.<span>Parris, prayerfully holding up his hands: Excellency, hear me. It is a providence. Reverend Hale has returned to bring Rebecca Nurse to God.</span><span>all of the above

This question is missing the excerpt. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Read the excerpt from "The Storyteller."
"Why weren't there any flowers?"
"Because the pigs had eaten them all," said the bachelor promptly. "The gardeners had told the Prince that you couldn't have pigs and flowers, so he decided to have pigs and no flowers."
There was a murmur of approval at the excellence of the Prince's decision; so many people would have decided the other way.
How does the characterization of the children create satire?
Answer:
The characterization of the children create satire because:
B. They are pleased to learn that the prince chooses pigs over flowers.
Explanation:
A satire exposes the difference between our beliefs and reality. In the short story "The Story-Teller", by Saki, the satire comes from the situational irony presented in the bachelor's story. The bachelor is traveling in a train wagon with three children and their aunt. The aunt tells them a story with the purpose of teaching them a moral lesson. To her disappointment, the children find the story boring.
The bachelor begins to tell a story himself. Unlike the predictable story told by the aunt, his story is filled with surprises and ironic incidents. Instead of teaching kids that they should be good, he teaches them that being too good may be an awful thing. <u>The children's characterization in the excerpt creates satire because they are pleased to learn the prince in the story chose to have pigs instead of flowers. Their reaction contradicts what society would expect of them. It goes against what the aunt - a representative of society - thinks is appropriate. They are not pleased by what is right or good - they are pleased by what is entertaining.</u>
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Which piece of evidence best reveals how Elijah’s words contribute to Joe’s death? A. “Looka theah, folkses!” cried Elijah Mosley, slapping his leg gleefully. “Theah they go, big as life an’ brassy as tacks.” (Paragraph 2) B. “He rides that log down at the saw-mill jus’ like he struts ‘round wid another man’s wife — jus’ don’t give a kitty.” (Paragraph 5) C. “Talkin’ like a man, Joe. Course that’s yo’ fambly affairs, but Ah like to see grit in anybody.” (Paragraph 16) D. “Aw, Ah doan’t know. You never kin tell. He might turn him up an’ spank him furgettin’ in the way, but Spunk wouldn’t shoot no unarmed man.” (Paragraph 22)
Answer:
D. “Aw, Ah doan’t know. You never kin tell. He might turn him up an’ spank him furgettin’ in the way, but Spunk wouldn’t shoot no unarmed man.” (Paragraph 22)
Explanation:
This question is about "SPUNK".
The paragraph shown above is the best evidence that Elijah's words contributed to Joe's death, even though the biggest conflict Joe has in history is with Spunk who is having an affair with his wife, but Spunk was not the main one responsible for Joe's death, even though they fought.
