B - "She would duck the devil out of her."

The correct answer is “…she would duck the Devil out of her.”. Taken from the article “<em>A Witch Trial at Mount Holly</em>” by Benjamin Franklin (1730), the phrase from the excerpt presented above that makes the witch trial seem ridiculous is the one that reads “<u>…she would duck the Devil out of her.</u>”. This phrase narrates the moment when the female accuser floats in the water and declares that the accused cursed her causing her “<em>to make her so light, and that she would be duck’d again a Hundred Times, but she would duck the Devil out of her.</em>”. Franklin ridicules the female accuser who innocently believed she could “duck” the curse and the devil that made her float, showing <u>no rationality</u>. Franklin has used <u>humour</u> as a rhetorical device throughout all his writings. A clear example of his technique is this article “<em>A Witch Trial at Mount Holly</em>” in which Franklin highlighted <u>the hypocrisy of Puritan culture through satire</u>.
