Answer 2

Answer:

a."Then came out of the House a grave, tall Man carrying the Holy Writ before the supposed Wizard…"

Explanation:

The letter A shows the passage that most clearly makes the witch trial seem ridiculous. This is because the tall man who will judge the "Wizard" uses the bible in front of the supposed Wizard, as if a book could prevent the supposed Wizard from freeing himself from this judgment, or as if the bible could protect everyone from an ordinary man who was being accused. In short, this passage has a ridiculous appearance, because the Bible is unable to protect or prevent anyone and the accused man could do nothing about his trial.
