Well, this really depends on the word or words that are italicized. However, I did find somewhere on the Internet that the italicized words are <em>before the concert was over.
</em>If that is the case, then the correct answer is adverbial clause, given that it functions as a simple adverb, that is, it answers the question - when did something happen?
<em />When did we leave the auditorium? - Before the concert was over.
Think about what the story is mainly about and what's its really focusing on that's how you get the purpose of why the author included that sentence
A) Salem was a strict religious community that had suffered many recent tragedies and these conditions create an environment of and paranoi describes the conditions in Salem contribute to the development of witch hunt
It would really depend on what line 39 is but if I had to guess I would guess A. To remain in one place
