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>.

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST + THANKS + 5 STARS
sergey [27]

Answer:

The main message of this excerpt is instint.

I believe the message is that, as well as dogs have his own instints (searching for food when they are starving, and fighting until death in order to get food), humans are not different, they will defend theirselves and their possessions until death. This situation does not mean that even when humans are acting because of his instints, they do not feel fear: when Bill says "I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone." it means that they know they have to do something to make dogs go away even they do not like the situation and feel afraid, as well as dogs do but have no other option to survive than to follow their instints.

We are given with the steps:
<span>To make a plain apron, first measure and write down the measurements below.
If you’re making an apron that will be tied, extend this length by at least 1 ½ times the measurement.
Decide how wide you’d like the waistband to be, adding 1 inch for the seam.
Decide how far down you want the apron to fall and measure that, adding at least 2 inches for seams and the hem.
Measure the width you’d like the apron to be from one side to the other, adding 1 inch for hems.
Cut your selected fabric in the dimensions you’ve written down.

John ran. - independent

John ran away from the shore. - independent

Jim studied in the sweet shop for his chemistry quiz. - independent

When Jim studied in the sweet shop for his chemistry quiz. - now this one's tricky. I am leaning towards dependent but it could be the response to a question, but I don't know what question or could be dependent because its not a complete thought. Try dependent.
