B.He treats his authority disrespectfully.
C.He feels that people stay away from church because he doesn't preach about God enough.
D.He is not a true follower of God.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. He is not a true follower of God.

Explanation:

Throughout the play, we learn how John Proctor feels toward Reverend Parris. He believes that Proctor thinks the Reverend is not a man of God. We also see plenty of evidence that supports this belief. The Reverend is a selfish and greedy man, who is more concerned with money than with charity or the salvation of souls. Moreover, he is always willing to put his own comfort and reputation ahead of any other concerns.

Answer 2

The answer is C. He feels that the people should stay away from church because Reverend Parris doesn't preach about God enough.
