In Paragraph 4 of "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly," the author uses the words mob and populace to describe the crowd gathered to w
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

C.The words imply that the people are thinking and acting as a group.

Explanation:

The article "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly" recounts the story of how two people who were accused of witchcraft agreed to be tried and tested along with two of their accusers. The whole scenario presents a rather comedic yet tragic scene where the common people, guided by their popular belief, tried to find ways to justify themselves while putting the accused on trial.

The words <em>"mob" </em>and <em>"populace"</em> generally refer to a large gathering of people who are mobilized together for a certain purpose. The author mentions them in his description of how the trial was organized, writing that <em>"a lane through the populace was made from the justice’s house to the scales"</em> so that <em>"the justice’s wife and the rest of the ladies might see the trial, without coming amongst the mob"</em>. These two words imply that the people or masses are acting and thinking as a group in putting the accused on trial.  

Thus, the <u>correct answer is option C. </u>

Explain a theme in Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. As part of your explanation, describe an event from the story that supports the
Elza [17]

Answer: there are several themes, so I will give you two answers,

Answer 1-

Family and community.

An example of this would be when the Logan’s plantation is caught on fire from lighting, and the town helps put it out. Another example could be when Cassie’s uncle comes to visit and wants to rest lists against what the white girl did to Cassie, and so does her father.

Answer 2- racism.

This one is much more obvious, but a few examples could be Cassie’s father getting shot, T.J getting attacked by some white boys, Cassie and her brothers walk to school everyday while avoiding a white kid school bus, or T.J and the white police. It is believed the police killed T.J, but the Logan family can’t be sure.

I hope this helped!
