value: 4
what does the reader/audience learn about abigail?
a. she has been accused of witchcraft by mary warren.
b. she has stolen all of reverend parriss money and disappeared.
c. she tried breaking john out of jail and was caught and executed.

Explanation:

This question refers to Abigail Williams from Arthur Miller's The Crucible. In the play, Abigail steals her uncle Reverend Parris's money and flees Salem to avoid the consequences of her lies and manipulation during the witch trials. Option a is incorrect because Mary Warren accuses Abigail of pretending, not directly of witchcraft, and later recants. Option c is incorrect as Abigail never attempts to free John Proctor or get executed; she escapes Salem entirely.

Answer:

b. She has stolen all of Reverend Parris's money and disappeared.
