Question 3
A)
Use the passage to answer the question.

“Let us now chiefly consider women . . . and why [witchcraft] is found more in so fragile a sex than in men . . . When [women] are governed by a good spirit, they are most excellent in virtue; but when they are governed by an evil spirit, they indulge the worst possible vices . . . I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon than to keep house with a wicked woman . . . Women are naturally more impressionable and more ready to receive the influence of a disembodied spirit . . . . [S]ince they are feebler both in mind and body, it is not surprising that they should come more under the spell of witchcraft.”
