Answer 1

Answer: 4 She partly blames herself for Proctor’s infidelity.

Explanation:

Elizabeth Proctor in Act 3 of the Crucible showed that she blamed herself in part for her husband's infidelity when she stated that because she had been sick for a long time after their last child, she thought her husband was turning from her.
