Answer:
B. "The kind of sugar easiest to produce from cane is dark"
D. "wanted it to be as pure, sweet, and white as possible"
Explanation:

If producing dark or brown sugar is simpler, it logically follows that its value would be lower. The description of white sugar as pure and sweet elevates its worth above that of brown sugar.
<span>Reverend Hale, a learned man from Beverly, was called by Parris to look into the supposed witchcraft infiltrating Salem. Initially, he was eager to take on this task. Nonetheless, his analytical nature prevents him from becoming swept away by the town's hysteria. As accusations escalate and innocent lives are lost, Hale's faith in the witch trials begins to crumble. He feels a deep sense of guilt for those he thinks he has condemned unjustly. Additionally, he starts to see the witch court as a self-serving institution. The court needs to identify witches to affirm its legitimacy. Hale makes a desperate attempt to persuade Proctor to admit to illicit actions, fully aware of the court’s hypocrisy and aims. He insists that Proctor play along to save his own life, assured that the court would show mercy if he confesses. In the end, Proctor chooses not to sign; his name is all that remains to him. Reverend Hale finds himself disenchanted; his previous beliefs have shattered.
