Question

read the following text from an article. this excerpt is about tituba and the salem witch trials of 1692.
who was it, demanded hathorne, who tortured the poor girls? \the devil, for all i know,\ tituba rejoined before she began describing him, to a hushed room. she introduced a full, malevolent cast, their animal accomplices and various superpowers. a sort of satanic scheherazade, she was masterful and gloriously persuasive. only the day before, a tall, white - haired man in a dark serge coat had appeared.... had the man appeared to her in any other guise? asked hathorne. here tituba made clear that she must have been the life of the corn - pounding, pea - shelling parris kitchen. she submitted a vivid, lurid and harebrained report. more than anyone else, she propelled america’s infamous witch hunt forward, supplying its imagery and determining its shape.

Explanation:

The text describes Tituba as "masterful and gloriously persuasive" when recounting her tale, and notes she submitted a "vivid, lurid and harebrained report" that propelled the witch hunt. There is no evidence she was amused by Hathorne's questions, and she explicitly states she did not harm the girls (blaming the devil/stranger).

Answer:

Tituba told her story with enthusiasm.
