Answer: He is broke, sad, and feels guilty about all that has happened, compared to how he was only worried about his reputation at the beginning of the play.
Explanation: In the story, Parris is a minister that is afraid that his daughter has been bewitched, and calls a witchcraft expert. He then knows that said witchcraft was made by his niece and daughter but is afraid that people knowing it may affect his reputation.
Later, in Act IV, after all of the unfair hangings that had been made to innocent people trying to find the culprit, he feels depressed, guilty and hopeless, since also, his niece, who started everything, stole his money and ran away. We can see this in the line: "My daughter tells me how she heard them speaking of ships last week, and tonight I discover my strongbox is broke into".
Answer:
Based on the context clues, the character feels sad.
Explanation:
A context clue can be defined as a piece of information given by the author that can help the reader understand something.
In the excerpt we are studying here, it is possible to find some information that leads us to believe the character is sad. If the author had only described the girl staring out the window at the other children playing a game, we wouldn't be able to conclude enough. She could be tired, sad... She could even be excited about it.
The author, however, tells us she's asking herself if she will ever play with them and how they can be friends. If she is watching the other kids while feeling left out, she is most likely sad. The other options do not seem to match these context clues.
