Answer:
Rev. Parris was so fearful that the villagers will discover his niece and daughter were amond the girls dancing in the woods because, in the village, it was part of the rituals of witches to dance around fire in the forest.
As a reverend who had already made enemies that wanted to see him fail and fall, this information would be a great instrument in their hands because he would be labelled a hypocrite, a reverend whose family practiced witchcraft and yet he preached against it.
Cheers!
Among the choices, the text from "After Twenty Years" that best provides evidence that "Silky Bob" was surprised that his friend is now a policeman is A. <span>"His hand was steady when he began to read, but it trembled a little by the time he had finished."
Two best friends, Bob and Jimmy, twenty years ago, have agreed to meet in front of a hardware store at exactly 10 pm. Bob was waiting for his friend Jimmy when a policeman approached him and asked what he was doing there. The policeman afterwards left. A man who introduced himself as Jimmy then approached Bob. However, while walking down the street, as light hit the other man's face, Bob realized that it wasn't his friend. The man then told him he was arrested and handed him a note. It was then that Bob realized that the policeman earlier was his friend Jimmy. Jimmy was unable to arrest his friend so instead, he asked a bystander to confront Bob. </span>
The last one. They can't go on and they can't stay where they are. They've got to be on their home asteroid in two weeks which we are to think that there is not enough time to go to earth to get a cruiser and return home in that. Nor can they stay where they are. They know that the miners have taken every ship available. They're caught in a net and there doesn't seem to be any solution.
One is just a statement of the way one of the characters looked. It is a quick observation about the way he looked. "Lean and Hungry" is another way to describe him. If there was a way of getting a ship, the way he looks tells us that he would have found a way.
Two is just a fact that is part of the setting. He's at the biggest port on Mars. Nothing there. How the 2 characters feel about that is more important than where they were. We just have to know that if there is nothing in that city, there's going to be nothing anywhere else on Mars.
Three is close, but four is better because it is more emotional. The second best answer is Three.
