Answer:

Shemeans that they are hurting Vasilisa unintentionally, such as a human might accidentally step on an ant, or a bear crushes a beetle. Of course we don't know that the ant is there, and the bear doesn't know the beetle is there either, so he wouldn't hate it. He just accidentally hurt it/killed it.

Explanation:

:) Hope this helps, have a nice day!

C) She claimed that bizarre noises accompanied the light.

Explanation:

Many people from the town claimed to have seen this phenomenon. Each of their statements have one thing in common: they saw a light of the unknown source. There are ongoing debates about the origin of this strange light, but the existance of the light itself is undebatable. Young mother also states that she saw the light. However, the main difference in her statement is that, besides light, she heard bizzare noises accompanying it.
