Answer:
Puritan girls have the power
Explanation:
Tituba was a woman and black slave, which puts her in a very vulnerable situation in a patriarchal and prejudiced society like the Puritans. The girls with whom she befriended, although they are devalued by society because they are women, are white and free girls who exercise a strong power over Tituba, who must be submissive and devalued in relation to girls. This shows that in this group of friends, the girls were the characters with power, being free to treat Tituba as they wished.
Answer:
Semicolon
Explanation:
Using adjunctive adverbs, like <em>however</em>, is helpful to link two independent clauses in order to create just one sentence. They are positioned between a semicolon (;) and a comma (,). The writer does this so as to simplify speech and get ideas across in a clearer way.
The two sentences which are linked in this opportunity are "Everyone knows he is the best cook" and "he refused to enter the contest".
