A) Here is what my mother said to me, at least once: "Jerry, you've got to try a little harder."

Since the quotation from his mother is set off from the rest of the sentence, not continuing it, a colon is appropriate. Additionally, the comma before "at least once" is correct and after "Jerry" is also correct.

Leni [432]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, but I will still give you an explanation of the themes Young Goodman Brown is about.

Explanation:

The story Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne has as their main themes faith, religion, sins and good versus evil.

Brown's faith is easily corrupted by the Devil in the woods. In turn, he feels guilty when he knows what he is going to do and says goodbye to his beloved wife, whom he considers a very good and religious woman.

There is also a criticism of the Puritan religion and you can see how all the Puritans in the story "hid something" since they were all present that night in the forest. All of them had been tempted by evil.

This is where good versus evil comes into play, as not even the purest people in the city could be considered good.
