Mary Warren tries to do the right thing in the story, but overall she is so afraid of Abigail that she ends up changing her story and accusing John Proctor. She knows that Abigail has a lot of power over the court, so Mary is ultimately trying to protect herself from being hanged by switching sides and putting the blame on John Proctor.

In <em>The Crucible </em>(1953) by Arthur Miller, John Proctor convinces Mary Warren, the Proctor's servant, to testify against Abigail Williams and to confess that she and the girls have been all pretending. However, taking into account Abigail's power over the court, she starts to fear Abigail will accuse her of being a witch. When the day comes, Mary Warren realizes about how capable Abigail is to turn the judges against her and; therefore, she tries to protect herself and her reputation by accusing John Proctor of witchcraft and describing him as the "devil's man" who has tried to take her to the dark side.

For questions 7–9, choose the correct sentence pattern.
notka56 [123]

1. The correct answer is S-V-N.


S refers to subject, and if you take a look at the sentence, you will see that the subject IT comes first. It is then followed by V, which stands for verb. In this sentence, the verb is IS. The verb is followed by a noun phrase HYBRID CAR, which is a predicate nominative (a noun or phrase following a linking verb). Predicate nominatives are written as N.


2. The correct answer is S-V-A.


The layout of this sentence is similar to the first sentence. First, we have the subject (S) TRADITIONAL GAS-POWERED CARS, then we have the verb (V) ARE, which is later followed by an adjective phrase HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. This phrase is a predicate adjective (an adjective or adjectival phrase following a linking verb), which is written as A.


3. The correct answer is S-V-O.


This is the most common structure of sentences in the English language. First, we have the subject HYBRIDS, then we have the verb PRODUCE, and then we have the direct object LESS POLLUTION, and later a phrase that we don't need to name. The object of a sentence is determined by asking the question What? (What do hybrids produce? - Less pollution), and it is written as O. IO stands for indirect object, which doesn't appear here.

Read each quotation from the story, and then decide whether the author is using direct or indirect characterization.
babymother [125]

<span>In those quotations from the story, author is using both direct and indirect characterization. Direct characterization is when author directly states what characters are like and indirect characterization shows personality of a character through speech, looks, actions, thought and effects on others. In the first quotation author is using direct characterization through stating how character looks and states her actions – Della is slender and she has mastered the arts. In second quotation author also uses direct characterization through looks and actions – Madam is large, too white, chilly and she hardly looks at ‘Sofronie. In the third quotation, Madam’s characterization is indirectly shown through her action and speech – she bidded twenty dollars by lifting her hand. An in the fourth quotation indirect characterization is shown through actions – he looked the watch on the sly.</span>

Which details from the text best support the author’s purpose? Check all that apply.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The details from the text that best support the author’s purpose are:

3. Old German tales once held communities together

4. Older stories often expressed the essence of Volk culture

5. Epics and other tales were linguistic and based in history.

Explanation:

The Brothers Grimm found a method for collecting and recording folk stories. This led to the beginning of folklore studies.  

The main idea of this excerpt is the fact that the Grimm Brothers believed firmly that natural forms of culture are linguistic, and they are based on history. This is also mentioned in Option 5, so it is pone of the correct options. Therefore, they saved the fairy tale.

Option 3 states that Old German epics are pure forms and held communities together. Option 4 expresses the essence of Volk culture.
