In Shakespeare’s time people believed in witches. They were people who had made a pact with the Devil in exchange for supernatural powers. If your cow was ill, it was easy to decide it had been cursed. If there was plague in your village, it was because of a witch. If the beans didn’t grow, it was because of a witch. Witches might have a familiar – a pet, or a toad, or a bird – which was supposed to be a demon advisor. People accused of being witches tended to be old, poor, single women. It is at this time that the idea of witches riding around on broomsticks (a common household implement in Elizabethan England) becomes popular.
There are lots of ways to test for a witch. A common way was to use a ducking stool, or just to tie them up, and duck the accused under water in a pond or river. If she floated, she was a witch. If she didn’t, she was innocent. She probably drowned. Anyone who floated was then burnt at the stake. It was legal to kill witches because of the Witchcraft Act passed in 1563, which set out steps to take against witches who used spirits to kill people.
King James I became king in 1603. He was particularly superstitious about witches and even wrote a book on the subject. Shakespeare wrote Macbeth especially to appeal to James – it has witches and is set in Scotland, where he was already king. The three witches in Macbeth manipulate the characters into disaster, and cast spells to destroy lives. Other magic beings, the fairies, appear in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Elizabethans thought fairies played tricks on innocent people – just as they do in the play.
Answer:
D. Dorothy wanders along the yellow brick road with Toto sitting in her basket, searching for clues about how to find the Emerald City.
Explanation:
Using context clues from the text, we can understand that this passage is in <em>present participle</em>. This is because of verbs like "wanders", and the use of the suffix "-ing" in the word "sitting" (infinitive form: to sit). Therefore, the verb "to search" gains the same suffix added to it.
Answer:
B
Explanation:
This statement is fluff because it says very little or nothing at all that is useful to the passage. It is clear from reading the names of the additives that they are chemicals, but it is even more unnecessary to say that they sound scary. This opinion does not add any substance to the piece and is distracting since at most it expresses the opinion of the author and at worse results in a disjointed description.
The main reasons are to protect your legal identity & privacy.
Another reason is to brand yourself like they do in the entertainment industry (some examples are: Oprah, Pink, Shakira, Madonna, Ice-T, etc.)
