The first one: only 1 comma
Answer:
The two ideas from the setting that influence the way characters act in this passage are:
B. the idea that people should not argue in public
E. the custom of saving women and children first
Explanation:
"A Night to Remember" is a novel by Walter Lord which gives an account of the disastrous first trip of the Titanic. As we know, the ship began its journey toward America but ended up sinking after a tragic collision with an iceberg in 1912.
The fact that the story is set in 1912 is of great importance to understand how and why the characters behave in certain ways. Society at the beginning of the 20th century lived under different, more strict, social rules than it does now. People would, for instance, avoid any sort of disagreement in public, since it was frowned upon. That is represented in the first fragment: "Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Meyer of New York felt so self-conscious arguing about it in public that they went down to their cabin."
It is also important to understand that, in sinking ships, it is a rule to save children and women first. The story being set on a ship explains the second fragment: "When they say ‘Women and children to the boats,’ you must go when your turn comes. I'll stay here with Jack Thayer. We’ll be all right.”
Answer:

Answer:
The first narrator is very different from Simon Wheeler in a number of ways, including style, his superior understanding and use of grammar and syntax, his address of the reader directly, and his tongue-in-cheek manner. Moreover, he is skeptical about the story that Wheeler tells.
There were many changes in the book the crucible in the character John Proctor but the ones that stands out the most are these:
John Proctor at the beginning of the book tells his wife about the affair, his wife retaliates by hating him for it. Abigail (whom he had the affair with) falls in love with him and is emotionally and physically out of her mind. She tries everything in her power to get him back to her. But Proctor refuses to give in. This infuriates Abigail causing her to start accusing everyone along with the help of other teenagers of being a witch. That many people includes John Proctors wife. Seeing that the only way that John could stop Abigail, he confesses to the court of the affair between him and Abigail but the plan is short lived when His wife tells the court that he has never cheated on her. At the end he is accused of being a witch by Mary and then he begins to give a false confession of being a witch which fails and he winds up dying at the end of a rope. So you see there were many changes in his character but all of them led to his downfall!
