Answer:
The women of Boston felt disgusted and were angry about the crime of adultery committed by Hester Prynne.
Explanation:
In Chapter 2 of Scarlet Letter, when the crime of Hester Prynne was out, she was punished by the Puritanical Society for it. She wore an embroidered letter A (adultery).
Hester Prynne was convicted of the crime of adultery. Many women in the crowd, who were waiting outside the prison, were scorning Hester and gossiping that she should have been given much stricter punishment. Some church women thought only if they had a chance to handle the case of Hester, she would have been punished more severely.
"I’ll tell ye a piece of my mind. It would be greatly for the public behoof, if we women, being of mature age and church-members in good repute, should have the handling of such malefactresses as this Hester Prynne." (Quoted Text).
Some said that the letter should not be embroidered on her chest but on her forehead to shame her for life.
The ugliest woman of the crowd even suggested death punishment for Hester.
"This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die. Is there not law for it?" (Quoted Text).
USSR (Russia) was led by Stalin
Based on the Declaration of Independence and on the words of Isaiah Berlin, I can say that I agree that both statements “constitute the irreducible minimum of the ideal of equality”. On the first statement from the Declaration of Independence, we can see that when it says “all men are created equal” it is including minorities groups that are usually discriminated against due to race, gender or nationality. Basically, it states that all people are equal and should not be discriminated on the basis of race, gender or nationality.
On the second statement by philosopher Berlin, the focus is not only on the fact that one man should count as one but also it highlights that no men should be counted as more than one. Here, Berlin wants to indicate that of you are rich and powerful; you are still only one person and cannot be thought of as more worthy than the rest.
To sum up both concepts mention that all men are created equal, the first one focusing on no discrimination against minority groups; and the second one focusing on no power abuse.
The correct options are A, B & E.
Option A. The lost generation’s writings (literature) reflected cultural attitudes during the 1920s in the way that it referred to the group of musicians, writers, and intellectuals that appeared in those years.
Option B. Freud’s Psychoanalytic theory influenced surrealist artist to express their human nature with books like “Beyond the Pleasure Principle” “and Interpretation of Dreams”, both written in 1920.
Option E. Jazz music reflects cultural attitudes during the 1920s thanks to the politics, technological (radio) and economic (consumerism) developments that made the Jazz music’s popularity higher because the 1920s were an economic success in the US which lead to increase the consumer culture.
