Excerpt from "a witch trial at mount holly" by benjamin franklin then came out of the house a grave, tall man carrying the holy writ before the supposed wizard etc., (as solemnly as the sword-bearer of london before the lord mayor) the wizard was first put in the scale, and over him was read a chapter out of the books of moses, and then the bible was put in the other scale, (which, being kept down before) was immediately let go; but, to the great surprize of the spectators, flesh and bones came down plump, and outweighed that great good book by abundance. after the same manner the others were served, and their lumps of mortality1 severally were too heavy for moses and all the prophets and apostles. refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this narrative. which phrase from the excerpt most clearly makes the witch trial seem ridiculous? a."then came out of the house a grave, tall man carrying the holy writ before the supposed wizard…" b."…then the bible was put in the other scale,…" c."…over him was read a chapter out of the books of moses,…" d."…their lumps of mortality severally were too heavy for moses and all the prophets and apostles."

a."Then came out of the House a grave, tall Man carrying the Holy Writ before the supposed Wizard…"

Explanation:

The letter A shows the passage that most clearly makes the witch trial seem ridiculous. This is because the tall man who will judge the "Wizard" uses the bible in front of the supposed Wizard, as if a book could prevent the supposed Wizard from freeing himself from this judgment, or as if the bible could protect everyone from an ordinary man who was being accused. In short, this passage has a ridiculous appearance, because the Bible is unable to protect or prevent anyone and the accused man could do nothing about his trial.

  one day samantha and her brother carson was walking in a path then samantha's brother carson almost stepped on something on the ground "carson, stop! " she shouted "huh, why? " he stopped "beacause, this" she says picking this mysterious object off of the ground it looked like a smart watch but there was another under it, one of them was gold one was silver. "woah, smart watches! " carson said "yeah, woah, you want gold or silver? " sam said "ummm, i'll take silver" carson smiled

  when they put it on it started to glow but no one was around, wafter 30 seconds of waiting a small silver dragon   came to carson, about the same time a golden lion came to samantha. "carson you need to get us some where safe so all of us can talk." the dragon said in his squeaky voice "by the way im silvester"   he said "we need to also samantha, im goldy." she said in her sqeaky voice.

  samantha and carson were suprised, scared and happy at the same time, so they took the little animals to their shed that nobody but them go into. "so where did you guys come from?
