Answer 1

The statement that is not true about Anne Hutchinson is option A) “She had problems with the women in her community and sought the help of the clergy.”

Anne Hutchinson was a puritan spiritual leader and was very influential among women in the Massachusetts Bay Colony since she spread the bible message to other women in the colony. Her preaching ideas were not welcomed by puritan leaders since it contradicted the puritan's doctrine so she was trialed and banished from the colony. Then, she moved with her family to Rhode Island.
