Here is the evaluation of your answers:
1. The correct answer is C. In "The Crucible," Abigail is motivated by her fear of the villagers knowing everything they did in the woods. Abigail and the other girls engaged in forbidden activities, such as dancing, in the woods, and Abigail is afraid of being punished or accused of witchcraft.
2. The correct answer is A. In "The Crucible," the doll that Mary Warren makes for Elizabeth has a needle stuck in its stomach. This is significant because it resembles a voodoo doll and could be seen as evidence of witchcraft.
3. The correct answer is C. In "The Crucible," John Proctor reveals that Abigail told him that she was going to accuse Elizabeth. This is important because it shows that Abigail has personal motives for accusing Elizabeth of witchcraft.
4. The correct answer is D. In "The Crucible," the girls in the courtroom terrorize Mary Warren by saying that they see the Devil talking to her. This accusation creates an atmosphere of fear and doubt around Mary Warren, making it difficult for her to defend herself.
5. The correct answer is D. John tears up his confession because he believes that if he doesn't confess, he will save Elizabeth's life. John wants to protect his wife, even if it means sacrificing his own life and facing eternal damnation.
