Answer 1

Mary's motive in giving the 'poppet' to Elizabeth is to plant evidence of witchcraft in Elizabeth's house.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Arthur Miller's play 'The Crucible', Mary's motive in giving the 'poppet' to Elizabeth is to A. plant evidence of witchcraft in Elizabeth's house. Mary is manipulated by Abigail Williams to frame Elizabeth Proctor and others in order to eliminate her competition for John Proctor's affections. The 'poppet' is used as a prop to falsely accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft.

Answer 2

Mary Warren's motive in giving the poppet to Elizabeth Proctor in 'The Crucible' is to make peace with her, not to intentionally plant evidence of witchcraft. This act of giving the poppet unfortunately results in Elizabeth's accusation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is regarding Mary's motive in giving the "poppet" to Elizabeth Proctor in Arthur Miller's play, The Crucible. Mary Warren's act of giving the doll to Elizabeth has a deeper implication; it is not a mere gift. In the context of the Salem witch trials within the play, Mary gives the poppet to Elizabeth as a supposed symbol of peace and as an apology for her disobedience. However, it inadvertently serves as planted evidence, as the doll is later used to accuse Elizabeth of witchcraft.

Mary Warren's motive for giving the poppet to Elizabeth is to make peace after a period of disobedience (Option C). Although Mary does not intentionally plant the evidence, her actions lead to dire consequences for Elizabeth.
