My answer would be tractable as that is the same as yielding. It means controllable. That being said, the person described in the snippet, seems to be quite the opposite of that description. The woman are discussing her behavior and how her husband is unable to control her. Maybe they are suggesting that he find someone who is the antithesis of his wife.

For what does Reverend Parris condemn his niece, Abigail?
Tju [1.3M]

He convicted her of dancing in the forest at night with other girls.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Reverend Parris is a very traditional man who wants to keep his and his family appearances up to society's standards.
  • This includes keeping to puritanical concepts and moving away from everything that religion deems wrong. That was essential to his reputation.
  • Dancing in the forest at night was considered incorrect as it referred to pagan cults and activities associated with witchcraft.
  • For that reason, when Reverend Parris found out that his niece was dancing the night away in the forest, he reprimanded her strongly.

He did this because his niece could be associated with witchcraft and that would cause his reputation to be damaged.

What does the author mean by the following quote from paragraph 7, and how does it develop the central ideas of the article?: “W
____ [38]

Answer:  

The author means that when people with power attempt to be fair they will be torn between two groups the people (critics) who feel that their choice is incorrect and the ones who feel that it is correct due to the situation. So kind of like the subject of bringing beheading back in the US many feel it is a horrible idea but many also feel it is correct. And for the second one, I am not sure because I have not read your article only the seventh paragraph.
