Option A is the best choice for the conclusion paragraph. It restates the claim, but doesn't summarize the entire essay. The conclusion paragraph should summarize the entire essay, but not in the first sentence. Options B and C add in extra information.

D. where did the poet live around the time the poem was written
Answer:
McCarthyism.
Explanation:
Miller's story <em>The Crucible </em>is about Salem witch hunts, but only on the surface. In the story, we can see Puritans hunting innocent people and burning them at stakes just because there was a slight possibility in their minds that they might be witches.
