The correct answer is A.

The purpose of this passage is to inform the reader regarding the events of the witch trial. We are told that suspected witches were to be tried using the Scales, and that each suspected witch was first searched to see if they had anything heavy in their pockets.

This passage provides quite a bit of information about the witch trial; it is not trying to persuade, entertain, or debate -- the purpose of this passage is to inform.

Why are the characters committed to nonviolence during their protest?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:"The post-conventional level is a moral development in individuals. People in this stage of development are involved with the rights and controlled by their ethical beliefs.

Segregation was common in the South because of Jim Crow laws, which kept public buildings like libraries, restaurant, lunch counters, parks, theatres, and swimming pools segregated. The sit-in protests drew public attention to these inequities. "
