Explanation:

These questions are about the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. Let's answer one of them, for example, question 1:

In Act III of "The Crucible", as the act opens, Giles Corey accuses Thomas Putnam of using the witchcraft trials to get land. Putnam is allegedly accusing people of witchcraft so that when they are convicted and their land is forfeited, he can buy it.

Answer:

Giles Corey accuses Thomas Putnam of using the witchcraft accusations to gain land (specifically, that Putnam is getting people accused of witchcraft so he can buy their forfeited land).
