Multiple choice and True/False questions are worth 2pts.  Pick the answer that best responds to the question.

Read the following and answer the related questions.

Parris, wondrous and relieved: What do you make of it, Rebecca?
Putnam, eagerly: Goody Nurse, will you go to my Ruth and see if you can wake her?
Rebecca, sitting: I think she’ll wake in time. Pray calm yourselves. I have eleven children, and I am twenty-six times a grandma, and I have seen them all through their silly seasons, and when it come on them they will run the Devil bowlegged keeping up with their mischief. I think she’ll wake when she tires of it. A child’s spirit is like a child, you can never catch it by running after it; you must stand still, and, for love, it will soon itself come back,
Proctor: Aye, that’s the truth of it, Rebecca.
Mrs. Putnam: This is no silly season, Rebecca. My Ruth is bewildered, Rebecca; she cannot eat.
Rebecca: Perhaps she is not hungered yet. To Parris: I hope you are not decided to go in search of loose spirits, Mr. Parris. I’ve heard promise of that outside.
Parris: A wide opinion’s running in the parish that the Devil may be among us, and I would satisfy them that they are wrong.
Proctor: Then let you come out and call them wrong. Did you consult the wardens before you called this minister to look for devils?

Cheever: Proctor, you dare not touch the warrant. Proctor: ripping the warrant: Out with you! 
Cheever: You’ve ripped the Deputy Governor’s warrant, man!

Hale: Now, Proctor, Proctor!
Proctor: Get y’gone with them! You are a broken minister.
Hale: Proctor, if she is innocent, the court -
Proctor:  If she is innocent! Why do you never wonder if Parris be innocent, or Abigail? Is the
accuser always holy now? Were they born this morning as clean as God’s fingers? I’ll tell you
what’s walking Salem - vengeance is walking Salem. We are what we always were in Salem, but
now the little crazy children are jangling the keys of the kingdom, and common vengeance writes
the law! This warrant’s vengeance! I’ll not give my wife to vengeance!

Danforth: Now hear me, and beguile yourselves no more. I will not receive a single plea for pardon or postponement. Them that will not confess will hang. Twelve are already executed; the names of these seven are given out, and the village expects to see them die this morning. Postponement now speaks a floundering on my part; reprieve or pardon must cast doubt upon the guilt of them that died till now. While I speak God’s law, I will not crack its voice with whimpering. If retaliation is your fear, know this - I should hang ten thousand that dared to rise against the law, and an ocean of salt tears could not melt the resolution of the statutes. Now draw yourselves up like men and help me, as you are bound by Heaven to do. Have you spoken with them all, Mr. Hale?

Abigail, stepping up to Danforth: What look do you give me? Danforth cannot speak. I’ll not have such looks! She turns and starts for the door.
Danforth: You will remain where you are! Herrick steps into her path. She comes up short, fire in her eyes. Mr. Parris, go into the court and bring Goodwife Proctor out.
Parris, objecting: Your Honor, this is all a -
Danforth, sharply to Parris: Bring her out! And tell her not one word of what’s been spoken here. And let you knock before you enter. Parris goes out. Now we shall touch the bottom of this swamp. To Proctor: Your wife, you say, is an honest woman.
Proctor: In her life, sir, she have never lied. There are them that cannot sing, and them that cannot weep - my wife cannot lie. I have paid much to learn it, sir.

Elizabeth, faintly: Good, sir.
Danforth: We are given to understand that at one time you dismissed your servant, Abigail Williams.
Elizabeth: That is true, sir.
Danforth: For what cause did you dismiss her? Slight pause. Then Elizabeth tries to glance at Proctor. You will look in my eyes only and not at your husband. The answer is in your memory and you need no help to give it to me. Why did you dismiss Abigail Williams ?
Elizabeth, not knowing what to say, sensing a situation, wetting her lips to stall for time: She - dissatisfied me. Pause. And my husband.
Danforth: In what way dissatisfied you?
Elizabeth: She were - She glances at Proctor for a cue.
Danforth: Woman, look at me! Elizabeth does. Were she slovenly? Lazy? What disturbance did she cause?
Elizabeth: Your Honor, I - in that time I were sick. And I - My husband is a good and righteous man. He is never drunk as some are, nor wastin’ his time at the shovelboard, but always at his work. But in my sickness - you see, sir, I were a long time sick after my last baby, and I thought I saw my husband somewhat turning from me. And this girl - She turns to Abigail.
Danforth: Look at me.
Elizabeth: Aye, sir. Abigail Williams - She breaks op.
Danforth: What of Abigail Williams?

Elizabeth, faintly: No, sir.
Danforth: Remove her, Marshal.
Proctor: Elizabeth, tell the truth!
Danforth: She has spoken. Remove her!
Proctor, crying out: Elizabeth, I have confessed it!
Elizabeth: Oh, God! The door closes behind her.
Proctor: She only thought to save my name!
Hale: Excellency, it is a natural lie to tell; I beg you, stop now before another is condemned! I may shut my conscience to it no more - private vengeance is working through this testimony! From the beginning this man has struck me true. By my oath to Heaven, I believe him now, and I pray you call back his wife before we -

Danforth: Good then. To Abigail: And if she tell me, child. it were for harlotry, may God spread His mercy on you! There is a knock. He calls to the door. Hold! To Abigail: Turn your back. Turn your back. To Proctor: Do likewise. Both turn their backs - Abigail with indignant slowness. Now let neither of you turn to face Goody Proctor. No one in this room is to speak one word, or raise a gesture aye or nay. He turns toward the door, calls: Enter! The door opens. Elizabeth enters with Parris. Parris leaves her. She stands alone, her eyes looking for Proctor. Mr. Cheever, report this testimony in all exactness. Are you ready?
Cheever: Ready, sir.
Danforth: Come here, woman. Elizabeth comes to him, glancing at Proctor's back. Look at me only, not at your husband. In my eyes only.
Elizabeth, faintly: Good, sir.
Danforth: We are given to understand that at one time you dismissed your servant, Abigail Williams.
Elizabeth: That is true, sir.
Danforth: For what cause did you dismiss her? Slight pause. Then Elizabeth tries to glance at Proctor. You will look in my eyes only and not at your husband. The answer is in your memory and you need no help to give it to me. Why did you dismiss Abigail Williams ?
Elizabeth, not knowing what to say, sensing a situation, wetting her lips to stall for time: She - dissatisfied me. Pause. And my husband.
Danforth: In what way dissatisfied you?
Elizabeth: She were - She glances at Proctor for a cue.
Danforth: Woman, look at me! Elizabeth does. Were she slovenly? Lazy? What disturbance did she cause?
Elizabeth: Your Honor, I - in that time I were sick. And I - My husband is a good and righteous man. He is never drunk as some are, nor wastin’ his time at the shovelboard, but always at his work. But in my sickness - you see, sir, I were a long time sick after my last baby, and I thought I saw my husband somewhat turning from me. And this girl - She turns to Abigail.
Danforth: Look at me.
Elizabeth: Aye, sir. Abigail Williams - She breaks op.
Danforth: What of Abigail Williams?
Elizabeth: I came to think he fancied her. And so one night I lost my wits, I think, and put her out on the highroad.
Danforth: Your husband - did he indeed turn from you?
Elizabeth, in agony: My husband - is a goodly man, sir.
Danforth: Then he did not turn from you.
Elizabeth, starting to glance at Proctor: He -
Danforth, reaches out and holds her face, then: Look at me! To your own knowledge, has John Proctor ever committed the crime of lechery? In a crisis of indecision she cannot speak, Answer my question! Is your husband a lecher!
Elizabeth, faintly: No, sir.
Danforth: Remove her, Marshal.
Proctor: Elizabeth, tell the truth!
Danforth: She has spoken. Remove her!
Proctor, crying out: Elizabeth, I have confessed it!
Elizabeth: Oh, God! The door closes behind her.
Proctor: She only thought to save my name!
Hale: Excellency, it is a natural lie to tell; I beg you, stop now before another is condemned! I may shut my conscience to it no more - private vengeance is working through this testimony!

Pick the best constructed response answer below based on the following question: 
Why do you think Parris cares more about himself than others around him?

Abigail is the thing that Parris is most worried about when he thinks of his future.  She lives in his house and he pays her way in the world.  He doesn't trust her and he wants to know what she has been up to in the town.

Parris cares more about himself than others around him because he doesn't focus on his sick daughter, but only on how things matter to him.  He says "I have Sought here three long years to bend these stiff-necked people to me, and now, just now when some good respect is rising for me..."   He isn't trying to understand Abigail or what is making his daughter ill.  He is only concerned about how Betty's illness or things Abigail may have done affect him.  

"I have Sought here three long years to bend these stiff-necked people to me, and now, just now when some good respect is rising for me..."  This quote proves Parris only cares about how the people of Salem judge him.  He doesn't like the people but he wants them to trust him so he can make more money.

According to the excerpt Parris cares most about Abigail's love life.  Parris says Abigail is soiled and Goody Proctor wont even sit by her.  He thinks Abigail dates too much and he wants her to be a better Puritan.

Read the following:
Parris, studies her, then nods, half convinced: Abigail, I have Sought here three long years to bend these stiff-necked people to me, and now, just now when some good respect is rising for me in the parish, you compromise my very character. I have given you a home, child, I have put clothes upon your back - now give me upright answer. Your name in the town - it is entirely white, is it not?
Abigail, with an edge of resentment: Why, I am sure it is, sir. There be no blush about my name.
Parris, to the point: Abigail, is there any other cause than you have told me, for your being discharged from Goody Proctor’s service? I have heard it said, and I tell you as I heard it, that she comes so rarely to the church this year for she will not sit so close to something soiled. What signified that remark?

Pick the best constructed response answer below based on the following question:  What is Parris worried about based on this excerpt?

Parris thinks Abigail did something wrong to Goody Proctor.  He thinks that is why Goody Proctor won't come to church.  He is upset because he wants everyone in town to come to church.

The excerpt is about Abigail, Goody Proctor and Parris.  Goody Proctor thinks Abigail is dirty so she won't come to church. Parris wants to know if it is true.  He says your name is white questioning if what Goody Proctor says is true.  Abigail is angry about it and gets embarrassed.  Parris says is there anything else I need to know?  Parris also wants to know why Goody Proctor doesn't come to church.

Based on this excerpt Parris is most worried about Abigail's reputation in town and how it affects his own reputation.  Parris asks "Your name in the town - it is entirely white, is it not?" and he also says "compromise my very character."  Parris is questioning Abigail about her character and implying that because of her poor choices people would think less of him.

Parris has been in Salem three years. He is starting to get a good reputation in the village.  He is wondering while things are getting good for him why Abigail is doing things to get him in bad standing with the people of Salem.  He reminds her that he gave her a home and takes care of her.  Parris thinks Abigail should be honest with him about what she has been doing behind his back.  Abigail says she hasn't done anything.  Parris wants to know why Abigail has been fired from the Proctors and why Goody Proctor wont come to church.
