The answer could be that the author wanted to show readers how unjust, cruel, and incorrect prejudices can be. After the main conflict is resolved, the narrator goes on to prove how incorrect everyone's prejudices about the Duvitches were.
I read that book last year :)
During Shakeaspeare time, people actually believed in witches and demons. They were extremely superstitious, and mystical/supernatural beliefs affected their everyday lives. If someone was ill, it was not uncommon to believe that person was cursed, for example. So seeing the supernatural being represented on a stage was especially frightening, which is also why magic and the supernatural are a recurring theme in Shakespeare plays.
Answer:
The first response
Explanation:
The first response is the only claim that makes sense. To check, let's use the process of elimination.
Second: Calling the scientists' surveys unsophisticated is irrelevant and does not prove that the original claim is correct.
Third: This option does not address the points made by the counterclaim and instead pushes the original idea. It is important to remember that it is supposed to be a response, not a new statement.
Fourth: This response gives up on the original idea and ends the debate, with the counterclaim winning.
