Answer:

A) used her pregnancy as a defense

Explanation:

The paragraph says, "being found quick with child, she was respited for about seven months" so apparently she was on trial for something, and was found to be pregnant. She was given seven months, and after giving birth she was put back on trial.

Answer:

A) Used her pregnancy as a defense.

Explanation:

Daniel Defoe's "Moll Flanders" tells the story of the protagonist Moll Flanders who was born to a criminal mother. But she grew into a beautiful woman and taking advantage of her situation, she also became notorious for her crimes.

The given passage is from when Moll begins her narration about how she was born. Her <em>"mother was convicted of felony for a certain petty theft scarce worth naming, viz. having an opportunity of borrowing three pieces of fine holland of a certain draper in Cheapside</em>". She used her pregnancy as an excuse to be exempted from being put in captivity, thus, giving her daughter the benefit of being born out of prison. The phrase <em>"pleaded her belly</em>" means she used her pregnancy as an excuse/ defense from being convicted or put to punishment.

At the beginning of the act, Elizabeth says, "The town’s gone wild." By the end of the act there was much more truth in that sta
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Foreshadowing is the literary technique used in the line by Elizabeth Proctor.

The scene that took place for the loose devil in Salem is the case of the witch hunt that took over the town of Salem.

This connects to the theme of hysteria in that the trial brought everyone to an excitement that no one can seem to ignore or be able to refrain from.

Explanation:

The literary technique that Arthur Miller used in his "The Crucible" is foreshadowing. It allows a certain 'hint' to the readers about what was to come in the near future. This is aptly seen in the line spoken by Elizabeth Proctor<em> "The town's gone wild".</em>

The event that took place over the course of the act is that of the witch-hunt. Abigail and other young girls were caught in the forest, dancing and <em>"trafficking"</em> with the devil. But for this, Elizabeth Proctor was wrongly accused of the same witch-craft, and condemned to be hanged. The subsequent community turmoil that this issue brought into the town of Salem is what Elizabeth was referring to the loose devil in Salem.

Hysteria is the super excitement of people about a certain issue, feeling anxious and full of uncontrollable emotions. This is similar to the Salem witch hunt for it creates a sense of excitement in the whole community to see and know about the case. The very case brought everyone on their toes, be it young and old, all seem interested and affected by the trial.
