Explanation:

These questions are about Arthur Miller's The Crucible. Answers are based on key plot points and character motivations from the play:

1. Abigail had an affair with John Proctor and wants his wife Elizabeth out of the way to be with him.
2. Mrs. Putnam lost seven infants and sent Ruth to Tituba to conjure their spirits to find out why they died.
3. When Betty wakes, she calls for her dead mother and tries to fly out the window to reach her.
4. Proctor and Putnam argue over land; Putnam claims land that Proctor says he bought from Francis Nurse, with Putnam's grandfather having willed land he didn't legally own.
5. Giles Corey discovers Putnam is accusing neighbors of witchcraft so they lose their land, which Putnam can then buy.
6. Abigail has gained power to accuse people of witchcraft, which leads to execution or land seizure, so the community fears her and makes way for her.
