Answer:

The answer is A: true

Explanation:

It is said that Puritan law was extremely strict; men and women who did not act in accordance with the Bible were severely punished for their actions. Puritans were very religious people. They believed they were on earth to do God's work. Those who did not do "God's work" received harsh punishment.

Every time Puritans administered punishment, they felt no remorse at all because according to their beliefs, they were complying with the Old Testament, and therefore, they followed the methods of punishment the Old Testament proposed.
