The passage from "The Crucible" mainly shows that Tituba wishes the girls had a happy childhood like herself, as stated in option C and explained below.
<h3>Who is Tituba?</h3>
Tituba is character in the famous play by Arthur Miller, "The Crucible". She is a slave from Barbados, owned by Reverend Parris. The play is set during the Salem witch trials, and Tituba is one of the characters accused of practicing witchcraft.
In the passage we are to analyze here, Tituba seems to be justifying the reason why she kept the girls around her. It was not to practice witchcraft, but rather to entertain them, as she says. Tituba claims she had a happy childhood, "lit up by the joy of our games, our rambles, and our rovings together."
Therefore, because she wanted the girls' childhood to be as happy as her own, Tituba keeps the girls around. She entertains them with dances and games which, back then, due to the general closed-mindedness of people, could be interpreted as practicing witchcraft.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer.
