Question

A disagreement between _____ resulted in a long-standing grudge stemming from a salary dispute. Reverend Hale and John Proctor over money owed to Hale? Mary Warren and Elizabeth Proctor over Mary’s wages as a maid? Abigail Williams and Mary Warren over Abigail’s former job as the Proctor’s maid? or Parris and Giles over payment for firewood?

Answer 1

Parris and Giles over payment for firewood.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

A disagreement between Parris and Giles over payment for firewood resulted in a long-standing grudge stemming from a salary dispute.

Parris argues that he is owed six pounds for firewood expenses, since that is part of his salary, and that, according to his contract, the community should provide him with firewood. However, Giles claims that Parris is overstepping his boundaries.
