Answer:

F. Manipulative

ExplanatiFon:

Abigail Williams is a manipulative character in Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible.” Miller  illustrates this through the stage directions in Act One. It states, “…an endless capacity for  dissembling.” (Miller 1130). This trait is how Abigail avoids conflict throughout the entire play.  Additionally in Act Two, she increases her exploitation to a prodigious scale. During this act,  Abigail pulls a needle from her stomach claiming that it was Elizabeth Proctor’s spirit trying to  kill her; therefore, causing Elizabeth to be arrested for witch craft at the end of the act (Miller  1176-1177). This example is the first time that the audience learns that the increase of Abigail’s  power has a direct correlation to the rising action in the play. Abigail uses power and  manipulation throughout the play to get what she wants and make people fear her.

Decide whether each quotation is an example of direct or indirect characterization. “How horrible it would be . . . if she were
Vesna [10]
<span>“How horrible it would be . . . if she were condemned to be the plain, shy Millicent of a few years back.” - Direct characterization. The speaker explicitly says that Milicent now isn't plain and shy, and that would be a condemnation to her.

</span><span>“Betsy Johnson, the vivacious blonde secretary of the sorority” - Direct characterization. We can see Betsy and we get some information about her character (vivacious).

</span><span>“Walking beside Louise on the way to the drugstore, Millicent felt a surge of pride.” - Indirect characterization. The speaker doesn't say that Milicent is this or that kind of person. He/she just puts her in a context, commenting on her current feelings and thus allowing the reader to make a vague conclusion about her character.

</span><span>“Bev was suddenly there in the doorway. ‘Wipe that smile off your face,’ she commanded.” - Indirect characterization. Again, the speaker here describes this character's action, rather than features and character traits.</span>

5. Analyze the claim the author makes about distracted teenage behaviors and evaluate whether the evidence used to support this
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

After realizing a trial with green and red circles, where the participants had to find a correct target in order to obtain a reward, Zachary Rooper and his team announced that the attention of adolescents is related to rewarding information.  

<em>Once the  teenage brain has linked a behavior to that reward, it continues to seek the reward again and again.   That’s why teens are likely to opt for the reward of social media when they should be studying. Or why  they respond to texts while driving. </em>

Explanation:

This evidence cannot be sufficient to support his statement that teenage brains are constantly seeking to reward. Teenage distractions and lack of attention could be related to their studying habits and their interests, not with the rewards they are expecting from social media websites. Although the rewarding system can motivate middle school and high school students, it should not be related to another habit in their life. It's true that many parents reward their children for achieving good results at school, but their concentration is also related to their personality, study habits, etc.

Therefore, Rooper's statement could be partially applied to the teenage population, but it shouldn't determine their behavior, as some of these behaviors are related to their age and the essential period of their development.
