Ame three supernatural powers that people thought witches had.

bulgar [2K]

In Shakespeare’s time people believed in witches. They were people who had made a pact with the Devil in exchange for supernatural powers. If your cow was ill, it was easy to decide it had been cursed. If there was plague in your village, it was because of a witch. If the beans didn’t grow, it was because of a witch. Witches might have a familiar – a pet, or a toad, or a bird – which was supposed to be a demon advisor. People accused of being witches tended to be old, poor, single women. It is at this time that the idea of witches riding around on broomsticks (a common household implement in Elizabethan England) becomes popular.

There are lots of ways to test for a witch. A common way was to use a ducking stool, or just to tie them up, and duck the accused under water in a pond or river. If she floated, she was a witch. If she didn’t, she was innocent. She probably drowned. Anyone who floated was then burnt at the stake. It was legal to kill witches because of the Witchcraft Act passed in 1563, which set out steps to take against witches who used spirits to kill people.

King James I became king in 1603. He was particularly superstitious about witches and even wrote a book on the subject. Shakespeare wrote Macbeth especially to appeal to James – it has witches and is set in Scotland, where he was already king. The three witches in Macbeth manipulate the characters into disaster, and cast spells to destroy lives. Other magic beings, the fairies, appear in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Elizabethans thought fairies played tricks on innocent people – just as they do in the play.

Brrunno [24]

The detail that best reveals that Mr. Rainsford opposes Zaroff's idea of the ideal prey is Mr. Rainsford's response near the end of the passage when he states that he is a hunter, not a murderer. This statement shows the reader that Mr. Rainsford believes that Zaroff hunting humans as prey makes him a murderer.

As they were preparing to leave, Prince told William, "I have no freedom to fight for, sir."

Mademuasel [1]

The reason why Prince said he had no freedom to fight for is the fact that he was a slave, as stated in option 1 and further explained below.

<h3>Why can't Prince fight?</h3>

According to the passage we are analyzing here, Prince was a slave who belonged to William. His owner expect Prince to join him in battle, that is, to fight alongside him. However, Prince explains that he cannot do so.

The reason why Prince has "no freedom to fight for" is the fact that he was a slave. Prince could very well join William in battle, but what for? Why should he fight for freedom when he is denied it? How can a slave be asked to die for the freedom of white people when his own people are treated as possessions?

By saying so, Prince got William to free him. Apparently, that sentence was an eye-opener to his master, who only now realized the incoherence there is in asking a slave to fight for freedom.

With the information above in mind, we can select option 1 as the correct answer.

This is part of the missing passage which we need to answer this question:

"At the time he began his military service, William owned a slave like most of his peers. The slave, named Prince, would have been expected to join William and serve with him in battle. As they were preparing to leave, Prince told William, "I have no freedom to fight for, sir." Seeing the truth in this, William is reported to have freed Prince immediately. Today, we look back on history through a great fog of time, and with lenses clouded by our own modern values. Our Founding Fathers displayed admirable courage in crafting and signing such a brilliant claim to human liberty."

These are the missing answer choices:

He was a slave.

He was not a soldier.

He did not believe in fighting.

He was a British citizen.
