In Arthur Miller's The Crucible, characters from 17th-
century Salem are accused of witchcraft and then forced
to name other people in the village who are witches as
well.
This practice mirrors a similar practice in the United States
during the 1950s when the House Un-American Activities
Committee forced accused communists to name other
communists. Miller, who wrote The Crucible during this
time, is clearly referencing the witch hunts of his own era.
Which statement most accurately describes the inference the author is
making and the historical context on which the inference is based?

a
A. The inference is that Miller wrote The Crucible in the 1950s, and
the historical context is 17th-century Salem.
O
B. The inference is that 17th-century witch hunts mirror those of the
1950s, and the historical context is Miller's reference.
O
C. The inference is that Miller is referencing witch hunts from his
own time, and the historical context is 1950s anti-communism.
O
D. The inference is that witch hunts occurred in 17th-century Salem,
and the historical context is the setting of Salem itself.
