he most obvious reason Arthur Miller wrote The Crucible (or anything else, really) is because he had a story to tell. Without that, he would not have been inspired to write. It is true, however, that what inspired him to write this particular story is quite personal.
As a Jewish man, Miller was a political advocate against the inequalities of race in America, and he was vocal in his support of labor and the unions. Because he was such an outspoken critic in these two areas, he was a prime target for Senator Joseph McCarthy and others who were on a mission to rid the country of Communism.
Miller was called before the House Committee on Un-American Activities because of his connections to these issues but refused to condemn any of his friends. This experience, a rather blind and sweeping condemnation of anything even remotely connected to Communism without sufficient (or any) evidence, is what prompted him to write about the Salem Witch trials.
In a later interview, Miller said the following:
It would probably never have occurred to me to write a play about the Salem witch trials of 1692 had I not seen some astonishing correspondences with that calamity in the America of the late 40s and early 50s. My basic need was to respond to a phenomenon which, with only small exaggeration, one could say paralysed a whole generation and in a short time dried up the habits of trust and toleration in public discourse.
However, the more he began to study the tragic events in Salem, the more he understood that McCarthy's hunt for Communists was nothing compared to the fanaticism which reigned in Salem in the 1690s.
Answer:
I think the answer would be A. This is because if the speaker had just moved to the area he or she would not know much about the land around the area, and would have a hard time building it even if he was allowed to.
I hope this helps!

is a side effect of military efforts to win wars. </span>
<span>In the passage “How the
Internet and Other Technologies Came About,” readers are presented with the rationale
for the development of the internet, virtual reality, and GPS. A type of communications web (or net) was developed, broken down into
pieces across the nation, so communication could remain intact should a nuclear
war destroy one component (or geographic location). Flight simulators were developed in order to
help train pilots to fly in conditions brought about by nuclear war. Guidance satellites were developed in order to
guide missiles to targets. All of these
advancements were a side effect of military efforts to win wars—the communications
web became the internet, flight simulators became virtual reality, and guidance
satellites developed into GPS.</span>
