B. It goes from sleepy to frantically busy for a short time.

Explanation:

In Life on the Mississippi, Mark Twain details the narrator’s coming of age through the process of learning to be a steamboat pilot, which fulfilled his boyhood dream.

Twain describes Hannibal, Missouri, sometimes as a village and sometimes as a town. It is a very rural, sleepy, quaint place.

He says, 'And the fragrant town drunkard asleep in the shadow of them',  'but nobody to listen to the peaceful lapping of the wavelets against them,' 'a white town drowsing in the sunshine of summer's morning, the streets empty.'

Whose trial testimony seems likely to result in a further investigation of someone other than Martha Carrier? Explain.
mezya [45]

Answer:

The testimony of Martha's neighbor, Benjamin Abbot, proved the investigation of Martha's husband and children.

Explanation:

Martha Carrier was the first woman accused of witchcraft in Salem. El countered the accusations, called her accusers crazy, maintained her position on her innocence and despite being arrested, refused to admit that she was a witch. After being accused by the Salem teenagers, other people testified against Martha, including her neighbor, Benjamin Abbot, who claimed to have been seriously ill after arguing with Martha.

Abbot's testimony created a distrust towards people living with Martha and triggered an investigation for signs of witchcraft in her children and her husband.
