Single women in Puritan society had a very low social status and did not have much influence in society, but they were seen as very innocent, pure and credible people, since they were not married and had not been "corrupted". This is because, single women, in Puritan society, were considered children and therefore shared the same innocence, until they entered adulthood, where they would get married and leave the status of a child and, consequently, the status of incocence. Women prostitutes were also not considered innocent and did not deserve to be heard because of their sinful nature.

In "The crucible" the girls who started the accusations, mainly Abigail, were single and that's why nobody believed they were lying. Abigail used her reputation as an "innocent" to accuse all the people she believed should get out of her way, as no one knew she was Proctor's lover, her words were easily accepted by everyone.

Answer:

Active reconstruction of events alters our memory of the important and unimportant events of our lives

Explanation:

According to the study of Cognitive Psychology, memory can be defined as an ability to receive information, store it and recall it when required.

The memory works in three stages namely encoding, storage, and retrieval. Also, there are three types of memories: sensory memory, short term memory, and long term memory.

The key theme that has been found in memory research is that is an active process of alteration of memory of important and unimportant events through the process of reconstruction. When new memories are created, it alters some of the important or unimportant events from memories of the past.

For example, one would have a very vague memory of childhood because new memories are created.

Which of the following lines from “in another country” by Ernest Hemingway contribute to the prevailing mood of apathy in the st
Luden [163]
If your options are: A) One day I had said that Italian seemed such an easy language to me that I could not take a great interest in it; everything was so easy to say. "Ah, yes," the major said. B) The girls at the Cova were very patriotic, and I found that the most patriotic people in Italy were the café girls—and I believe they are still patriotic. C) We were all a little detached, and there was nothing that held us together except that we met every afternoon at the hospital. D) It was warm, standing in front of her charcoal fire, and the chestnuts were warm afterward in your pocket. E) <span>The major, who had been a great fencer, did not believe in bravery, and spent much time while we sat in the machines correcting my grammar.

The correct answer is A, in my opinion. It doesn't talk about apathy (the loss of interest and psychological indifference to everything). It shows apathy in a dialogue between two people, thus proving that apathy has infused every single aspect of the soldiers' lives in Milan. The major's short answer "Ah, yes" also shows it. The two people talk about their lack of interest for Italian, and they are not even interested in this talk that they have.</span>
