It is important to understand the context of the play itself when answering this question. Since this is an excerpt from "The Crucible," we know that it is a play about the Salem Witch Trials and it shows the hysteria that surrounded these events in US history. We should also make sure we understand that the stories of the girls here are fiction as the girls made up their afflictions because they did not agree with things that others were doing. By acting as if they were possessed and overtaken by a sickness, they were able to accuse others of being a witch and consorting with the devil, which was a crime in this time period.

With this in mind, we can use process of elimination to work through the answer choices to see which answer is best. A is a definite possibility as more characters become involved and create more hysteria throughout the town.

B is true, but doesn't make much sense overall. It doesn't prove anything about what the inclusion of more characters will accomplish.

C doesn't make much sense as the characters are not being joyful and what they are doing is not to incite joy. C is not an option.

D, much like C, is not a good option as it is not obvious that the minister is or is not involved.

Because of the breakdown we've just done, A is the best option because the more people that are involved in the farce, the more hysterical the entire town will become.

In 500 words or less, identify three poetic devices used by Walt Whitman in his poem "Song of the Open Road" and explain how the
Aleksandr [31]
This sonnet was one of the twenty new ballads in the 1856 release of Leaves of Grass. Like "Intersection Brooklyn Ferry," which showed up in the meantime, it commands a fellowship and a majority rules system in light of place. Here Whitman sets up the out-of-entryways as an idealistic, majority rule space, in which all men can meet up. 
In this poem, Whitman praises the out-of-entryways, and the street specifically, as space where men can meet up seriously, where status and social markers matter less. A street is something everybody utilizes, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, and it compels all levels of individuals to connect with each other. The street, besides, connotes versatility: one can take the street to someplace new, and in America that implies some place one can begin once again. For Whitman, as well, the street is a space for the social occasion the material for verse. As he goes along it, he sees an assortment of individuals and puts and hears a plenty of stories. He contends against remaining in one place for a really long time, in spite of the fact that the cordiality might be a bit, for just the trial of the open street will do.

In about two hundred words, explain how Achebe portrays the Igbo customs, cultural experience, and laws. Reference specific exam

Other essays and articles in the Literature Archives related to this topic include : Women, Colonization& Cultural Change in “Things Fall Apart” by Chinua Achebe • Comparison of Tragic Characters in Things Fall Apart and Oedipus the King • Comparison Essay on Things Fall Apart and My Antonia

The novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture. This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members of a Nigerian tribe.
