Answer 2

Answer: she thought that witchcraft and the supernatural were to blame for the deaths of her unborn children.

In The Crucible, Anne Putnam, the wife of Thomas Putnam, had lost seven children out of the eight she had. As she is a supersticious person, she believes these children were killed by witchcraft.
