1 answer

In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," Sarah Good is not sentenced to hang because she confesses to witchcraft. While her confession is not sincere, it is a strategy that allows her to save her life. In the context of the Salem witch trials depicted in the play, those who confess to being witches are often spared from execution, whereas those who deny the charges face harsher penalties, including hanging. Therefore, the correct answer is she confesses.
