Question

what is the opening scene in the crucible? *
the woods; young girls are dancing and making a love potion
reverend parriss house; his daughter is ill
john proctors house; john is arguing with his wife
the church; members of the congregation are praying for the sick girls

Explanation:

In "The Crucible", the opening scene takes place in Reverend Parris's house where his daughter Betty is ill (after being found dancing in the woods, but the opening scene setting is his house with her illness as the immediate situation). The first option describes an event that happens before the opening scene's setting. The third option's scene (John Proctor's house argument) and the fourth option's church scene are not the opening scene.

Answer:

B. Reverend Parris's house; his daughter is ill
