Read The Lessons of Salem, by Laura Shapiro
What ironic situation does Shapiro describe in paragraph 3?
Answer: The irony of having those who “confessed” to witchcraft spared and those who defended their innocence being killed.
Explanation:
The Puritan witch hunts of 1692 would get confessions by torturing the suspects to justify the hunt itself, and those who would refuse to confess would end up being hung to death. The irony lies in the fact that none of the suspects had anything to do with witchcraft, and the proceedings of the trials were especially prejudicial to those who were honest.
Answer:
The correct answer is D.
Working against the natural tendencies of the environment leads to long-term consequences.
Explanation:
In the first paragraph, the theme of green literature is evidenced when the writer references the damage to New York City's topography due to the need to build deep underground subways that double as bomb shelters.
In the second passage, the imagery used by the writer gives a clearer picture of the damage that was done to the environment.
In the first passage, the potential hazard arises because sewer lines have to be pumped uphill with subways below them.
If there is an earthquake, for instance, the entire structure comes crashing down.
In the second passage, the damage was already done, leaving Norwegians with the problem of how to create soils upon which plant fauna could thrive. Had they, managed the tree population by planting more than they were cutting, they probably would have avoided the "<em>green problem".</em>
