What are the charges against Martha Carrier? What is the evidence against her?

1 answer:

5 0

She was charged for using witchcraft, so she was hanged. The thing is, they were just accused of bringing smallpox to Andover, but this disease killed two of her children, leaving the two other children and the husband both fine. Seems suspicious to the authorities. The evidence against her was people she knew, like neighbors. They accused her of curses and "powers" that she suddenly had. Though Martha pled not guilty, she was still hung.

Answer:

He was happy for being small sized.

Explanation:

The narrator of "Drummer Man" is small sized. Based on the excerpt we can infer that he was not much happy with his small size. It was only one of two times when he liked being small sized.

His regiment had to retreat from a war front, but their Captain was wounded and left between the lines. Someone had to go there and drag Captain back to safe place. It was not easy for other soldiers to do it owing to their large size. The narrator because of being small in size did the job with not much difficulty. So he was happy for his small size.

Hat does the term "odious" most closely mean as used in paragraph 80?

son4ous [18]

Among the options, the one that most closely shows the meaning of "odious" as used in paragraph 80 of "A Christmas Carol" is:

A. Hateful

In general, the adjective "odious" is used to refer to something or someone who is unpleasant, dislikable, or repulsive.

In the story "A Christmas Carol," the word "odious" appears in the following manner:

"It should be Christmas Day, I am sure," said she, "on which one drinks the health of such an odious, stingy, hard, unfeeling man as Mr. Scrooge."

Here, the word is being used to talk about the main character, Mr. Scrooge, who is quite a hateful man.

Hateful not only means "filled with hatred" but also "very unpleasant". As we can see, it works as a synonym of "odious".
