Answer:

After reading her brother's will, Jennifer learned that he had bequeathed the ancient family house to her.

Explanation:

The word "bequeathed" is a verb that shows or suggests someone left or 'willed' something to another person. It is majorly used in relation to inheriting of property or money, or in other words, the dissemination of property after the death of a person.

In the excerpt from the story "The Adventure of the Speckled Band" by Arthur Conan Doyle, the word "bequeathed" is used to show or indicate that Dr. Roylott was given/ left with a large sum of money by Mrs. Stoner, the mother of Helen Stoner.

So, in regards to this context, the word <em>"bequeathed" </em>is used best in the sentence which indicates that Jennifer had been left the family house by her brother who had died.

<em>"After reading her brother's will, Jennifer learned that he had bequeathed the ancient family house to her."</em>

hi please help me with this prompt for english about the crucible. How do you see the theme of fear in Act 1? How do you the eff
Wittaler [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In the first Act, we can see that fear is a driving force that determines the action, behavior and positioning of the characters in relation to everything that happens in their lives. Thus, we can say that fear, in this story, has the ability to manipulate all members of society. This can be considered an effect of the repressive Puritan society, which works on a blind faith to contain citizens, instead of working with information and freedom. In this case, we can perceive two types of fear that rule the whole story, the fear of witchcraft and diabolical manipulation (we can see this with the girls' fear of being accused of witches and the population's fear of harboring witches), such as the fear of losing their reputation (as we can see at the moment when Reverend Parris had to have a witch inside his house.)

Fear causes lies, accusations, deaths and, as we know, a strong hysteria that almost destroyed the city. Furthermore, fear causes a wave of betrayals and accusations, which all Puritan society in history does not see as sinful acts, but they believe it is justifiable. This shows how this society was contradictory.
