How is Witchcraft in 1692 similar to terrorism today, according to Baker's argument?
Answer:
Emerson W. Baker’s book begins on a surprising note, with a discussion of an artifact in the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Mass. It is a small wooden chest, probably made in the 1670s for two Salem Quakers, Joseph and Bathsheba Pope. The Popes would play a role in the “storm of witchcraft” that broke out in Salem and neighboring towns in 1692. But most contemporary Friends probably will find their role surprising—Joseph and Bathsheba were not innocent victims of hysterical accusations of being witches. Instead they were accusers, adding their testimony to that which hanged, among others, the saintly Rebecca Nurse and John Procter, the central character of Arthur Miller’s drama The Crucible.
The events in and around Salem in 1692 are among the most studied in U.S. history. Baker, an historian at Salem State University, is concerned both with explaining what happened and why. At the center were girls and young women who lived not in the town of Salem proper, but the adjacent community of Salem Farms or Salem Village. The village was convulsed by conflicts between families over land, inheritance, and leadership—the village church had gone through four ministers in 20 years. The accusers claimed that witches and wizards not only tormented them, but also had been responsible for murders and other crimes over the decades. Their targets ranged from those who fit the classic stereotypes of witches—unpopular, marginalized women—to ministers, military leaders, and politicians and their wives. By the fall of 1692, 19 women and men had been convicted and hanged, and several others had died in prison or in the throes of the legal process.
Baker’s greatest contribution to the ongoing discussion of the events of 1692 is his analysis of the judges who presided over the trials and who were responsible for the sentences. They represented the colony’s elite. In 1692, Baker argues, they had something to prove. Most were men who had been educated for the Puritan ministry, but had instead taken up secular careers. Most had held office under the unpopular government of King James II that was overthrown in 1688–1689. Several faced suspicions about the depth of their religious experiences. They had also suffered significant losses from Indian raids on lands they held in Maine. Before 1692, witchcraft trials in Massachusetts were as likely to result in acquittals as convictions. But in 1692, Baker concludes, the judges were “looking for someone to blame.” They found targets in the men and women who came before them.
Quakers are not central to Baker’s account, but they do appear from time to time. No Friends were accused of witchcraft, although a number of the accused had ties to Quaker families. One of Baker’s heroes is Thomas Maule, a Salem Friend who in 1695 published a ferocious denunciation of the trials. Maule, fittingly, would be the ancestor of a long line of Friends who would continue to be argumentative until the twentieth century.
Baker concludes with what he sees as a moral. In 1692, Puritans in Massachusetts were convinced that Satan had “visited their colony and struck a severe blow.” But while at the beginning they saw him as acting through witches, by the end of the year “they came to understand that Satan’s great work had been to delude them into thinking that many devout Puritans and good people were witches.” He warns us today: “change the word witch to terrorist and we can perhaps better appreciate the complexity of the problem that the people of Salem . . . faced in 1692.”

why the following sentence is not true " Christmas is in 25th December every year"??
Answer:
Christmas is on 25th December every year.

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World.
But there is another story as well. Information about sugar spread as human knowledge expanded, as great civilizations and cultures exchanged ideas. In fact, while sugar was the direct cause of the expansion of slavery, the global connections that sugar brought about also fostered the most powerful ideas of human freedom.
How do the details in this passage support the authors’ purpose?
The details about the expansion of sugar inform readers about how widespread the use of sugar was.
The details about human knowledge inform readers about how humans learned about sugar.
The details about ideas and global connections persuade readers that sugar’s story has multiple consequences.
The details about the spread of information about sugar entertain readers with stories of travel.
PLEASE ANSWER QUICK IS IT A OR C
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Answer: I believe it's A
Explanation:
I'm taking the test as well. But if it were to be C, the passage would've argued and get their point across to the reader. However, the passage is only informing readers about the global expansion of sugar and human knowledge. There is no evidence or tone in which the author would use to create an argument that would persuade readers that sugar leads to multiple consequences. Even so, it is true that sugar DID lead to multiple consequences, but it doesn't make any sense why the authors would argue about an event that has already taken place.
In addition, letter A seems to be the ideal choice among the four because the entirety of the passage informs the reader how sugar led to exchange of ideas from different cultures. Meaning that sugar was widely used around the world.

Which evidence from the passage best shows Ishmael's circumstances?
"The act of paying is perhaps the most uncomfortable infliction that the two orchard thieves entailed upon us." (paragraph 5)
"Again, I always go to sea as a sailor because they make a point of paying me for my trouble, whereas they never pay passengers a single penny that I ever heard of." (paragraph 5)
"Though once broiled, judiciously buttered, and judgmatically salted and peppered, there is no one who will speak more respectfully, not to say reverentially, of a broiled fowl than I will." (paragraph 2)
"Besides, passengers get sea-sick, grow quarrelsome, don't sleep of nights, do not enjoy themselves much, as a general thing." (paragraph 2)
Answer:
The evidence from the passage which best shows Ishmael's circumstances is:
"Again, I always go to sea as a sailor because they make a point of paying me for my trouble, whereas they never pay passengers a single penny that I ever heard of." (paragraph 5)
Explanation:
The above evidence shows that Ishmael was a hired hand in the Pequod, a whaling ship led by captain Ahab. Ahab was obsessed with the whale that had bit off his legs during a previous voyage. Based on the earlier incident, he led his crew to a catastrophic revenge adventure, which claimed the life of all crew members except Ishmael. The plot of this novel is captured in the epic novel titled "Moby D..k," authored by Herman Melville (1851).
Read this excerpt from “President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation” following the explosion of the Challenger space shuttle.
Nineteen years ago, almost to the day, we lost three astronauts in a terrible accident on the ground. But we've never lost an astronaut in flight; we've never had a tragedy like this. And perhaps we've forgotten the courage it took for the crew of the shuttle.
How is repetition used in this excerpt?
The contraction “we’ve” is used three times to express sadness.
The contraction “we’ve” is used three times to express courage.
The contraction “we’ve” is used three times to express unity.
The contraction “we’ve” is used three times to express terror.
Answer:
d
Explanation:
eez nuts
The contraction "we've" is used three times to express a historical fact and emphasize the significance of the Challenger space shuttle tragedy. So, the correct option is D.
What is Contraction?When one or more letters are removed from two words and replaced with an apostrophe, the result is a contraction. The contraction is "we have" three times in the passage, meaning "we have." It is used to express a feeling of harmony and shared sorrow over the loss of the space shuttle Challenger.
As a nation, they have never lost an astronaut in flight, which is highlighted by the repeated use of the pronoun "we have." The loss of the Challenger catastrophe is made all the more tragic. The rhetorical strategy of repetition is used to emphasize the bravery of the shuttle and the crew of the loss. A contraction refers to the shortening of the words "we have" to "we've" in the excerpt from President Ronald Reagan's Address to the Nation.
So, the correct option is D.

Part of the pride of being an American comes from the fact that most people that want jobs have jobs. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, as happened in 2008, the economy slows down, and jobs become harder to find or keep. Businesses make less money and so can keep fewer people employed. Those people who lost their jobs then have less money to spend. Because they have less money to spend, other businesses make less money, and then they, too, have to cut workers. In the United States, these cycles always end and the economy recovers, but it can take a while.
People have to get creative about making money if they lose their jobs. Sometimes, they can use the skills they used at their old jobs to make money independently. For example, people don’t buy many car stereos when the economy is bad. So, car stereo stores have to layoff some of their stereo installers. If an installer has a place to work, that person can install stereos without a store. Often, this person will charge less than the store where he or she used to work. Also, the installer will get to keep all of the money he or she charged. At the store where the installer used to work, the store would have made most of the money.
During hard times, it is important to be open-minded. There are always ways to make money outside of a formal job, if a person is willing to do things he or she wouldn’t normally do. A computer programmer, for example, might not be able to find work as a computer programmer. However, if the programmer is good with his or her hands, he or she may be able to find work in construction. Lawns never stop growing, and many aspects of life do not stop just because the economy has slowed down. A person who lost a job at a supermarket may be able to mow lawns for money, or do many other things.
Most importantly, a person who loses a job must not give up. One’s attitude is very important in determining if he or she will be successful. A hopeful person is more likely to find a new job. Also, a hopeful person will be better able to keep trying new things. A hopeful person, too, can be patient. The jobs will come back. They always do.
Which of these best describes the main idea of the passage?
A.
It is important for a person to get creative if he or she needs to find a new job.
B.
Sometimes, the economy drops, causing jobs to become hard to find or keep.
C.
When the economy slows, there are ways to be successful in employment.
D.
