The intolerance of witchcraft had caused a 19 people to be executed and a few more locked down in prison cells. This infamous hysteria started when people were acculturated with Puritan superstitions. Puritans were said to believe the existence of demons and evil spirits and their corresponding good counterparts. This belief had created a perception that misfortunes are connected to them and thus fuel the superstition even more.

A poet research about Elizabeth barret browning
i will mark brainliest and give more points if you do a full research
Answer:
Among all female poets of the English-speaking world in the 19th century, none was held in higher critical esteem or was more admired for the independence and courage of her views than Elizabeth Barrett Browning. During the years of her marriage to Robert Browning, her literary reputation far surpassed that of her poet-husband; when visitors came to their home in Florence, she was invariably the greater attraction. She had a wide following among cultured readers in England and in the United States. An example of the reach of her fame may be seen in the influence she had upon the reclusive poet who lived in the rural college town of Amherst, Massachusetts. A framed portrait of Barrett Browning hung in the bedroom of Emily Dickinson, whose life had been transfigured by the poetry of “that Foreign Lady.” From the time when she had first become acquainted with Barrett Browning’s writings, Dickinson had ecstatically admired her as a poet and as a woman who had achieved such a rich fulfillment in her life. So highly regarded had she become by 1850, the year of Wordsworth’s death, that she was prominently mentioned as a possible successor to the poet laureateship. Her humane and liberal point of view manifests itself in her poems aimed at redressing many forms of social injustice, such as the slave trade in America, the labor of children in the mines and the mills of England, the oppression of the Italian people by the Austrians, and the restrictions forced upon women in 19th-century society.
Elizabeth Barrett was extremely fortunate in the circumstances of her family background and the environment in which she spent her youth. Her father, whose wealth was derived from extensive sugar plantations in Jamaica, was the proprietor of “Hope End,” an estate of almost 500 acres in Herefordshire, between the market town of Ledbury and the Malvern Hills. In this peaceful setting, with its farmers’ cottages, gardens, woodlands, ponds, carriage roads, and mansion “adapted for the accommodation of a nobleman or family of the first distinction,” Elizabeth—known by the nickname “Ba"—at first lived the kind of life that might be expected for the daughter of a wealthy country squire. She rode her pony in the lanes around the Barrett estate, went with her brothers and sisters for walks and picnics in the countryside, visited other county families to drink tea, accepted visits in return, and participated with her brothers and sisters in homemade theatrical productions. But, unlike her two sisters and eight brothers, she immersed herself in the world of books as often as she could get away from the social rituals of her family. “Books and dreams were what I lived in and domestic life only seemed to buzz gently around, like bees about the grass,” she said many years later. Having begun to compose verses at the age of four, two years later she received from her father for “some lines on virtue penned with great care” a ten-shilling note enclosed in a letter addressed to “the Poet-Laureate of Hope End."
Before Barrett was 10 years old, she had read the histories of England, Greece, and Rome; several of Shakespeare’s plays, including Othello and The Tempest; portions of Pope’s Homeric translations; and passages from Paradise Lost. At 11, she says in an autobiographical sketch written when she was 14, she “felt the most ardent desire to understand the learned languages.” Except for some instruction in Greek and Latin from a tutor who lived with the Barrett family for two or three years to help her brother Edward prepare for entrance to Charterhouse, Barrett was, as Robert Browning later asserted, “self-taught in almost every respect.” Within the next few years she went through the works of the principal Greek and Latin authors, the Greek Christian fathers, several plays by Racine and Molière, and a portion of Dante’s Inferno—all in the original languages. Also around this time she learned enough Hebrew to read the Old Testament from beginning to end. Her enthusiasm for the works of Tom Paine, Voltaire, Rousseau, and Mary Wollstonecraft presaged the concern for human rights that she was later to express in her poems and letters. At the age of 11 or 12 she composed a verse “epic” in four books of rhyming couplets, The Battle of Marathon, which was privately printed at Mr. Barrett’s expense in 1820. She later spoke of this product of her childhood as “Pope’s Homer done over again, or rather undone.” Most of the 50 copies that were printed probably went to the Barretts’ home and remained there. It is now the rarest of her works, with only a handful of copies known to exist.

The answer is C. because although it may look like a sentence, it's not a complete one. A full sentence would be: "Although he is tall, his determination is small." So, it's a sentence fragment or a piece of the sentence.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering.

Set to launch in October of 2018, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is NASA’s successor to the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) now orbiting Earth. The capability of the Hubble to take clear images into deep space has provided astronomers some of the most highly detailed observations into space and time. Using primarily infrared vision, the James Webb can look further into space than the Hubble, which observes using primarily the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The electromagnetic spectrum is a range of electromagnetic waves. Visible colors, the colors of the rainbow, are a very small part of this spectrum. Ultraviolet waves are smaller waves than visible color and infrared are larger waves. It is an advantage for the James Webb Telescope to use infrared waves to observe because most stars and planets hide behind cocoons of dust that make them difficult to see with visible light. Infrared can penetrate these dusty clouds revealing the secrets behind them.
-Excerpted from "Looking Into the Infinite" by S.P. Ace Cadet
Which evidence is best for supporting the claim that the James Webb can look further into space than the Hubble?
A. The Hubble Space Telescope allows us to make detailed observations of space and time.
B. Visible colors, the colors of the rainbow, are a very small part of the electromagnetic spectrum.
C. Ultraviolet waves have a smaller wavelength than visible light.
D. Infrared waves can penetrate clouds of dust to observe stars and planets.
Answer:
D. Infrared waves can penetrate clouds of dust to observe stars and planets.
Explanation:
It states in the passage, "Using primarily infrared vision, the James Webb can look further into space than the Hubble, which observes using primarily the ultraviolet part of the electromagnetic spectrum." It then states later on in the passage, "It is an advantage for the James Webb Telescope to use infrared waves to observe because most stars and planets hide behind cocoons of dust that make them difficult to see with visible light. Infrared can penetrate these dusty clouds revealing the secrets behind them." Therefore, the best fitting answer to the question is option D.
Explain Lord Arthur's reconciliation with the prediction. How
does his solution to the problem contribute to the comedy of
the text?
This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.
Read "Lord Arthur Savile's Crime: A Study of Duty", by Oscar Wilde.
Explain Lord Arthur's reconciliation with the prediction. How does his solution to the problem contribute to the comedy of the text?
Answer:
When Mr. Podgers, a palm reader, predicts Lord Arthur will murder someone, Arthur decides to do it as soon as possible to be able to marry Sybil after and not before to avoid her any pain. Each of his attempts to murder people fail, and he ends up killing the palm reader instead, and he gets away with it. However, we later discover that the palm reader was an impostor, meaning that Lord Arthur had been a victim of the power of suggestion.
Explanation:
The comedic effect comes when we discovered that Lord Arthur could have just ignored the prediction and everything would have been fine.
How does the description of the clock contribute to the development of the story’s theme(s)? Cite evidence in your answer
Answer:
The clock in the story symbolizes the passage of time, which goes with the central theme of the inevitability of death.
Explanation:
The central theme of Poe’s story "The Masque of the Red Death" is the passage of time and inevitability of death. While Prospero, the protagonist, and 1000 nobles hide in the abbey to escape terminal illness called the Red Death they decide to hold a ball under the masks. There are seven rooms, and the big ebony clock stands in the last one. The story describes the events, saying that every night “there came from the brazen lungs of the clock a sound which was clear and loud and deep and exceedingly musical” that musicians and the waltzers stopped their performances “and there was a brief disconcert of the whole gay company”.
This clock symbolizes the passage of time, and its hourly strikes are reminders of mortality. The symbolics is that the whole happy company is enjoying their time – meaning life – trying to use it as much as they can, but that every hour they are reminded that the time is passing, that they lost an hour, and, ominously, that the death is approaching. They all think they will not react the same the next hour – trying to make amends with the mortality – yet they are always shaken by the chiming. No one enters the seventh room where the clock is, which symbolizes the fear of realizing the mortality in fullness.
Finally, at the end, when the dark figure in a robe resembling a funeral shroud appears, Prospero and the noble are afraid, trying to attack him. Prospero corners the figure in the seventh room, and readers realize, as everyone starts dying, that this is the illness and death itself. The story narrates “whose tall figure stood erect and motionless within the shadow of the ebony clock” which symbolizes how death standing in the shadow of the time, always luring us.
In the last passage, we learn the clock has stopped, and that “the light of [it] went out with that of the last of the gay”. Therefore, the time stopped for all once they were all dead, and there; their story was over.
