1 answer

In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible," Mary Warren considers Sarah Good a witch primarily because Sarah was seen behaving in ways that the community deemed suspicious, such as mumbling. This mumbling was interpreted as an indication of witchcraft, particularly because it was believed to be a form of incantation or magical speaking. In the context of the Salem witch trials, behaviors that deviated from the norm or could be interpreted as odd were often used to accuse individuals of witchcraft. So, among the options you've provided, the correct reason is "she mumbled."
