In Chapter 3 of The Scarlet Letter, how does the magistracy’s act of marking Hester Prynne with a scarlet letter serve to maintain its power in the community?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

The correct answer is: "People in the community fear becoming similarly shamed."

Indeed, Hester Prynne has been convicted of adultery because of giving birth to a child out of wedlock. This is not only considered a sin by the very religious and Puritan society of her time but a crime under their theocratic laws. Her Scarlett letter is a form of public shaming that completely ostracizes her from her society and most people scorn her for her sin.
Answer 2
Answer: The magistracy's act of marking Hester Prynne with a scarlet letter makes people in the community fear becoming similarly shamed.

Which of the following is true whether you use a direct quote or an indirect quote?A.) You must use quotation marks to indicate the evidence.
B.) You must use an internal citation to indicate the source.
C.) You must use the exact words even with any of its errors.
D.) You must use a capital letter at the beginning of the quote.

Answers

"You must use quotation marks to indicate the evidence." 
indirect quotes don't have quotation marks...
direct quotes do. 
A is wrong.

"You must use an internal citation to indicate the source."
with everything you get your source from, always use internal citation, even if it's a direct or indirect quote. B is correct.

"You must use the exact words even with any of its errors." 
this only applies for direct quote, not indirect quotation. C is incorrect.

"You must use a capital letter at the beginning of the quote."
only for direct quotes, because that's a q-u-o-t-e. indirect quotes are your words, and at every sentence you start a new capital letter so D is incorrect.

The following is true whether you use a direct quote or an indirect quote, B.) You must use an internal citation to indicate the source. Thus, option "B" is correct.

What is direct quote?

When we use a direct quote in a piece of writing, we take a passage or set of words from another person or source and repeat them exactly as he or she said it and put this information between quotation marks.

Thus, option "B" is correct.
