6. In section 1, what does Mather mean by bewitching when he refers to the charges brought against Martha Carrier?​
Verdich [7]

Answer:

He means that Carrier has cast a spell on people.

Explanation:

The word "bewitching" was used in the sense of "wearing a charm", so the author shows that Martha Carrier was accused of witchcraft because, according to her accusers, she had the ability to attract them, dominate them and exercise them a power that was evil, like a charm. These accusations were so powerful that they even had the ability to enchant Martha's inquisitors, making them look for more witnesses and until it was impossible to absorb her from the crime for which she was being tried.

Why are hoax succesful
monitta
I will help you! So, What makes a hoax successful? Well, this is the answer: <span>The recipe to a successful hoax requires several important elements, as exemplified by Barnum’s short story, </span><span>The Life of Joice Heth, the Nurse of George Washington. </span><span>Although the line between a believable hoax and an unreasonable tale can be ambiguous, Barnum toes this line and masters the art of deception by crafting his story to fascinate his readers while keeping it relatively realistic. His success can be attributed to the ignorance of his audience, among other convenient coincidences and artful techniques. Around 1835, when this story was published, many people weren’t as informed about medical and health concerns as they are today. Thus, the idea of a living 161-year-old woman might have seemed probable and even miraculous to many. Additionally, Barnum used reputable sources like the </span><span>New York Evening Star </span>and<span> Providence Daily Journal </span><span>to support his arguments, which only boosted his credibility. Mainly, Barnum used details regarding Joice Heth’s life and a real certification that she was George Washington’s slave to convince his audience that she really existed. Furthermore, he offered to let others see her in a circus, which appealed those who did and did not believe in the tale because the believers wanted to see the real deal and the non-believers wanted to see proof that it was all a hoax. In the end, Barnum effectively creates a successful hoax by teetering along the line between a conceivable story and ridiculous myth to craft a convincing argument that appealed to the general public. However, falling too far over this line with a tale too ridiculous could discredit the author and fatally reduce his/her reputation. 

Hope I helped! :) Can you mark me as brainliest please.

How does contrast and contradiction serve as a better way of describing a
pav-90 [236]

When the author relates a particular event, he encourages the reader to follow along. When this happens, the reader is meant to focus on the story and understand the events that transpired. However, the reader might get distracted, or he might fail to identify the specific aspects that the author wants to highlight.

By using contrast and contradictions, the author encourages the reader to focus on a new idea that is significantly different to the one already presented. By doing so, the author forces the reader to pause, rethink and reevaluate the information presented, thus increasing his understanding of the subject.

A post script (“p.s.”) should not be used when a business letter...... TRUE OR FALSE? ......
zalisa [80]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

" A generation ago, no one even considered adding a postscript, or P.S., to a business letter. In business correspondence, if the writer thought to add something else, he would go back and add it into the body of the letter, rewriting as necessary. Today, a P.S. is often purposely added to business letters, and the use of a P.S. in formal emails and direct mail adds a personal touch or calls attention to an idea and prompts the reader to take action.

Follow a Format for a P.S. in a Letter

A P.S. always goes at the end of the letter, after the closing, signature and title of the letter writer and the name of the company (unless the letter will be printed on letterhead)."
