In Crucible Act, How do the judges find out about Abigail and John’s affair?

Question

They took a lie detector test

Elizabeth tells on John

Abigail admits it

John admits it

Answer 1

In Arthur Miller's play "The Crucible," the judges find out about Abigail and John's affair primarily through Elizabeth Proctor telling the court that her husband, John Proctor, had an affair with Abigail Williams. Elizabeth’s statement inadvertently exposes the affair when she is questioned about her husband's fidelity.

While Abigail does attempt to manipulate the situation, it is ultimately Elizabeth's honesty that causes the affair to be revealed to the judges.

So, the correct answer is: Elizabeth tells on John.
