Question

what does reverend hale find suspicious about john proctor?

a. he refuses to participate in the witch trials.

b. he cant recite all of the ten commandments.

c. he has a doll with a needle in it in his possession.

d. he had an affair with abigail williams.

Explanation:

In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, Reverend Hale, who arrives to investigate witchcraft, views knowledge of the Ten Commandments as a marker of a pious, upstanding Christian. When John Proctor fails to recite all of them, Hale sees this as a suspicious sign of moral or religious failing tied to potential witchcraft involvement. The other options are incorrect: Proctor does not refuse to participate outright, the doll with a needle is linked to Elizabeth Proctor, and the affair is not what Hale focuses on as a suspicious point in their initial investigation.

Answer:

B. He can't recite all of the Ten Commandments.
