Question 1 options:

• True
• False

It is false that Abigail drinks blood because she wants to put a curse on Ann Putnam.

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Abigail drinks chicken blood believing that it will let her cast a spell on Elizabeth Proctor. As she had an affair with John Proctor, she wants to place a curse on his wife Elizabeth. She wants to kill her, so she can make advances on John.

Therefore, she drinks chicken blood in the woods when she was with her other friends, Mary, Mercy, Betty, and Ruth. Betty and Ruth act like they are bewitched by something. Abigail threatens them not to reveal about her actions in the woods.
