In order to determine the correct answer between option A and option B, we need to refer to Act 4 of "The Crucible". To do this, we need access to the script or text of Act 4. You can find the script of Act 4 in a printed or digital version of the play. Public libraries often carry copies of plays, so you might want to check there. Alternatively, you can find the text online through reputable sources such as educational websites or digital libraries.
Once you have the text in front of you, locate the scene where Herrick speaks about his reason for drinking. Read the lines carefully and search for any clues or dialogue that reveals why he is drinking. It might be helpful to highlight or make notes of relevant passages.
After reviewing the scene, you should be able to identify the reason Herrick gives for drinking. If he mentions that he is upset about the hangings, then option B would be the correct answer. However, if he indicates that he is drinking to keep warm, then option A would be the correct answer. Carefully examine the text to ensure that you have the correct reasoning.
By following these steps, you will be able to find the answer and gain a deeper understanding of the play.
