Explanation:

Question 12

"The Crucible" explores how power dynamics, like the Salem witch trials' accusations, are used for personal gain and control. "The struggle for power" aligns with themes of authority, manipulation, and competing for influence. Other options: "dishonesty consequences" is minor, "technology impact" is irrelevant, "love/betrayal" is not central.

In "The Crucible", hysteria comes from the mass fear and paranoia of witchcraft, leading to false accusations and panic. "Forbidden love" is not about hysteria, "pursuit of justice" is misaligned (it's unjust accusations), and "supernatural occurrences" are not real (hysteria is from fear, not actual magic).

Answer:

C. The struggle for power
