stira [4]

Answer:

The difficulty faced by Miller while writing 'The Crucible' was that he lacked the quality to describe mildly the environment of witchcraft trial and relate it to the Communist trials.

Explanation:

'Why I Wrote The Crucible: An Artist's Answer to Politics' is an essay written by Arthur Miller. The essay was written with a purpose to bring to notice the reason why Miller penned down play 'The Crucible' in the face of Communists trials.

In paragraph 11, Miller states that during the time of Communist trials, many writers were becoming so imaginable like McCarthy and Miller that they presented the situation through their writings and plays.

<u>When Miller states, that for him writing about witchcraft trials at the time of Communists trials was an act that lacks the tool. Miller states that he lacked the tool of presenting and relating both the trials mildly so that he may not present himself as a Communist party or non-Communist party.</u>

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

- re·con·nois·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun

Explanation:

The dictionary entry which most aptly backs the meaning of the word 'reconnaissance' would be 're·con·nois·sance | ri-ˈkä-nə-zən(t)s \ noun' as it correctly describes the pronunciation of the word and its part of speech. <u>The word stands for 'the act of scouting or exploring to gain information' and it is used as the element of the noun phrase 'storm reconnaissance missions' which is acting as the object in the sentence</u>. Thus, this suggests that the these acts are pursued for gaining more information about the storms.
