The correct answer is “comedic tone”. In literature, tone is the attitude of the speaker toward his subject, basically it describes an attitude. Its main objective is communicating his argument and it is described with adjectives. Comedic is something funny. Linking these two definitions, we can notice how it is used in the excerpt by making the character laugh despite Haley’s indignation.

Theocracy's role in The Crucible was _____.
aliina [53]

Answer:

Theocracy's role in the story of "The Crucible" is to keep a check on the behavior of the people or pay severe consequences. It is also meant to lead people to be protective of their reputation, even at the cost of hurting or harming others. This also led to a massive hysteria.

Explanation:

Theocracy is the governing of the society based on the religious beliefs. The church (in cases of Christianity) set the rules of the governing authority that was expected to be followed by the people. Religion plays the most important role in managing the society.

"The Crucible" by Arthur Miller was partly based off the Salem Witch Trials that was famous during the late 17th century in the Massachusetts bay Colony. The accused in the witch trials were judged based on the religious beliefs of the masses, without any proper judgement procedure like modern times. The religious feelings and beliefs of the masses, including the judges, overtook the judicial system. With the government and religion acting as one body, the serving of justice fell on the hands of the religious leaders, who based their judgement based on their faith in Christianity. Thus, this theocracy played a massive role in the play. It not only ensure that the people act according to what the Christian belief is, but it also teaches the penalty that has to be paid if one disobeys it. It also led to the people to be conscious of their reputation and the need to be weary of ruining it. This government led to massive hysteria in those days, for the religious belief of the people matter more than anything else.

Likurg_2 [28]

The answers are:

1. Declarative sentence

2. Interrogative sentence

3. Imperative sentence

4. Exclamatory sentence

5. Compound sentence structure

6. Simple sentence structure

7. Compound sentence structure

8. Complex sentence structure

Explanation:

1. This is a declarative sentence. A declarative sentence is used to give information. The information given is that the person in question took the dog to the vet.

2. This is an interrogative sentence. Identified by a question mark, it is used to ask questions as shown in the example above.

3. This is an imperative sentence. An imperative sentence is used in issuing an order or command. As shown in the example, "come with us"

4. This is an Exclamatory sentence. Exclamatory sentence is used to convey feelings and emotion. It is usually identified by the presence of an exclamation mark.

5. Contains a compound sentence structure. A compound sentence contains two independent clauses joined by a comma, semicolon or a conjunction.

In no. 5 above "I understood why he wanted to be there" is an independent clause joined to another independent clause "I certainly couldn’t be upset at him" by the use of "and".

6. This is a simple sentence structure. A simple sentence has a subject, verb, even other parts of speech but most importantly can form a complete thought by itself. The example given expresses a complete thought.

7. This is a compound sentence.

It contains two independent clauses separated by "but".

8. This is a complex sentence. A complex sentence has a dependent and independent clause present in it. An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought while a dependent clause also contains a subject and verb but doesn't express a complete thought.

The dependent clause here is "If John is able to come with us" while the independent clause is "we can probably make the trip in less than one day."

They are separated by a comma.
