Answer:

The blind doctor was able to navigate safely through the obstacles along the hallway, 'guiding' him to safely walk without hitting the obstacles.

Explanation:

Benedict Carey's article "Blind, Yet Seeing" from The New York Times reports the physical case of blindsight, which can be overcome by a person. The article also discusses how the subconscious mind of a person is capable of helping a person 'overcome' certain obstacles despite being physically blind.

In an experiment conducted, a well-educated blind doctor was asked to participate which he initially refused. His stance was that he <em>"had no interest in navigating an obstacle course - a cluttered hallway - for the benefit of science."</em> True. But when he did agree to be a part of it, his subconscious mind helped him <em>"zigzag down the hall, sidestepping a garbage can, a tripod, a stack of paper and several boxes as if he could see everything clearly." </em>This shows that the subconscious mind is still able to 'aid' a person despite physical blindness.

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!
