PART B: Which quote from the text best supports the answer to Part A?

Question

A. "In less than a year, over 200 individuals were accused of witchcraft, 20 of whom were executed." (Paragraph 5)
B. "The Salem episode was a historic landmark but by no means a rare example of behavior that can afflict frightened, angry, or frustrated people" (Paragraph 13)
C. "All three happened under extremely tense and stressful circumstances caused by global events: World War II and by the Cold War." (Paragraph 19)
D. "In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed a commission to investigate whether the decision to put Japanese Americans into internment camps had been justified." (Paragraph 32)

Answer 1

To determine which quote best supports the answer to Part A, it would help to know what Part A specifically asked. However, if Part A is about illustrating the consequences of fear and panic in society, then the most relevant quote is likely:

B. "The Salem episode was a historic landmark but by no means a rare example of behavior that can afflict frightened, angry, or frustrated people." (Paragraph 13)

This quote directly addresses the broader implications of fear leading to irrational behavior, thus supporting a discussion about the impact of fear and societal reactions, which seems to be the theme in Part A.
