through his symbolic encounter in the forest, what does young goodman brown learn about the other people in the town?
a they all secretly gamble
b they are plotting a revolution against england
c none of them are elect
d they torture native - americans to get them to convert

Explanation:

In "Young Goodman Brown," the forest encounter symbolizes Brown's disillusionment. The story explores themes of Puritan beliefs. Option C aligns with the idea that Brown loses faith in the supposed "elect" (those chosen by God in Puritan theology) as he sees the hypocrisy and hidden sins of the townspeople. Options A, B, and D are not central themes from the story.

Answer:

C. none of them are elect
