Answer:

Paragraphs 4-8 contribute to the development of idea of how witchcraft trials were being conducted in Salem.

Explanation:

'Witchcraft in Salem' is an article by US History. The article predicates the account of witchcraft trials conducted in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692-93.

In 1692, Salem town was said to come under the spell of a witch who put the Salem young maidens to hysteria and fits by spell. To bring justice to the town, people who were convicted of witchcraft were executed.

Paragraphs 4-8 details how this witchcraft trials were conducted. The trials took place in five tests, details of which are mentioned in these paragraphs. These tests include reciting Lord's prayer, the Devil's marks, testimony of witnesses or the accusers,  spectral evidence, and confession by the accused.

These details suggests that the one way for the accused to escape death penalty was to confess (falsely) their sins, which will lead to the loss of their properties.

<em>' Confession seems foolhardy to a defendant who is certain of his or her  innocence. In many cases, it was the only way out.'</em>

kumpel [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

The phrase in this question is from the treaty made between Spain and Portugal in 1494. Even though it was centuries ago land continues to be divided in a similar fashion. Therefore, I believe that if a new planet were discovered today it's land would also be divided in the same way. The first group to discover would most likely claim it for themselves, a war would then break out for control, which would ultimately lead to a similar treaty being drafted and accepted dividing the land between the parties like it has always occurred.
