Many theories have tried to explain why the Salem community exploded in that delirium of witches and demonic disturbances. The most widespread insists on asserting that the Puritans, who ruled the Massachusetts Bay Colony with virtually no real control from 1630 until the enactment of the Royal Charter of Massachusetts in 1692, were going through a period of mass hallucinations and hysteria caused by religious fanaticism.
Most modern historians find this explanation, at least, simplistic. Other theories are based on analyzing the facts of child abuse, guessing by invoking the malignant, and ergotism (full intoxication with fermented rye bread containing mycotoxins from the fungus Claviceps purpurea or ergot that can have effects similar to the hallucinogen LSD), struggle for property, the plot of the Putnam family to destroy rival family Porter, and some others allude to the issue of the "social strangulation" of women, being that the sum of these factors caused the outbreak of religious fanaticism.
Within the small community of Salem there was a strict religious behavior, in which each person watched their neighbors and in turn was watched by them in their words and actions, generating doubts and suspicions in case their behavior did not conform to the Puritan religious parameters. Women were considered as individuals destined to serve their husbands and to lack greater rights, while children were destined to be severely educated from an early age in the work of adults instead of simply playing. Another fundamental concern of this community was to avoid the "wrath of God" and, therefore, to strictly adhere to the religious dictates of Puritanism in order to avoid the divine punishment that resulted in loss of crops, bad weather and livestock deaths.

Answer:
C. Pastoralism
Explanation:
The Olmec culture flourished along the Gulf Coast of Mexico from around 1200-400 B.C. The Olmecs exercised basic agricultural practices using the slash and burn method in which the whole vegetation is burned and brushing the soil, in order to allow the ash to rest which acts as fertilizers. They opted to setlle near water, because the floodplains were good for agriculture, and it was easier to have fish and shellfish. However, hunting was a major source of food. Deers and domesticated dogs served the requirement of meat.
The correct answer is "It was a military defeat for the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese but was a psychological victory as they demonstrated their ability to strike anywhere in the South."
Even though the U.S. and South Vietnamese armed forces were able to expel the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese armed forces from all the positions gained in the initial stage of the Tet Offensive, the ability of the latter to strike in force towns and cities all over South Vietnam, including Saigon, the capital, it undermined the statements made by the supreme commander of all U.S. armed forces in Vietnam, General Westmoreland, about a quick end for the war at the end of that year, 1968. For most political analysts, it became evident that the end of the war was still out of reach, which had a profound and negative effect in the U.S. population and an ever increasing antiwar sentiment in the country.
