The witches were considered a supernatural entity in the form of a human who can cast spells, harm people, and break the marriages. In general people thought witches or witchcraft personifies evil and Satan.

Another aspect of the witchcraft was that these witches by their witchcraft help the farmers in growing crops, give children to those who are not fortunate to have any, make the wealth multiply overnight.

People thought witches lived among them and there were certain signs, certain objects which could help people identify a witch. They were thought to have a pact with devil as a witch. Usually witches were considered “women” but sometimes men “Witches” were also found.

The first book dealing with the issue was written in 1486 by Jacob Sprenger & Heinrich Kramer named “Malleusmaleficarum”.

Answer:

A. This section explains the distinction between the World Wide Web and the Internet, which addresses a misunderstanding many users have.

Explanation:

It is not the answer B because it in no way criticizes the creators, it only provides information. There is no opinion given which means it cannot be D either. The answer C is incorrect as the world wide web is an application and not a computer network system.

Yolanda is 24, Zachary is 44, and Andrew is 73. Assume that each successfully completed the psychosocial crisis associated with

sashaice [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Erik Erikson's theory of Psychosocial Development was developed by Erik Erikson and Joan Erikson in the late twentieth century. The theory is divided into eight stages of development of a child till late adulthood. Each stage is divided into two parts that denote the outcome of successful completion or unsuccessfulness in that stage.

So, according to Erikson's theory, the successful completion of the people mentioned above will be Yolanda at the intimacy stage, Zachary at generativity, and Andrew at the wisdom stage.

Intimacy v. Isolation is the sixth stage of the theory. This stage comprises of people aged between 20-40 years. In this stage, adults begin to share themselves intimately with others in loving relationships. If one fails at this stage of development, he/she begin to develop isolation and fear of intimate relationships. But successful completion results in intimacy.

Yolanda is 24 and at the sixth stage of the development. Thus, her successful completion will result in intimacy.

Generativity v. Stagnation is the seventh stage of the theory. This stage consists of people aged between 40-65 years. At this stage, middle aged-adults begin to find the work in which they can contribute to the welfare of the next generation. They begin to contribute towards the welfare of the society which can leave the lasting impact. Successful completion of this stage results in generativity whereas failure leaves them with feelings of stagnation and that they are not able to work towards the contribution; thus leaving them with little connections and little room for self-improvement.

Zachary, who is 44 years old, belongs to the middle aged-adults and the seventh stage of the theory. Thus, according to the theory, his successful completion will lead him to generativity.

Integrity v. Despair is the eighth and last stage of the theory. People who are 65+ till death belongs to this stage. At this stage, old aged adults begin to look back at their life and reflect on whether they succeeded in doing what they wanted or failed. After knowing that they successfully lived their lives leads them to wisdom. This wisdom helps them to sense the completeness in their lives and they feel ready to face death without fear. Failure in living a good life makes them feel despair.

Andrew is 73 years old and belongs to the eight stage of the theory. Thus, his successful completion of this stage will lead him to integrity and wisdom.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
