Answer:
(All confessions up until now have been lies.) Rebecca Nurse is accused of supernaturally murdering Ann Putnam's babies. This is situational irony because you would never expect Rebecca to be accused since she is so kind and good. Reverend Parris complains about his low pay and wants the deed to the house.
Explanation:
According to what you are describing, the plot device used is the "in media res"
This technique In Media Res means " in the middle of things", and that is exactly how it works, in media res is to start a story in the middle of the story itself instead of its beginning, that is, start the story of the facts showing the characters already involved in the conflict that structures the story, using this technique allows a more dramatic beginning of narration: the story will begin with the protagonist already in trouble, and with this we will capture the interest of the reader from the first moment.
