Answer 1

illustrates the immense power the veil has over others

Step-by-step explanation:

Elizabeth was engaged to the minister, but an inanimate and irrelevant object like the one he started using deteriorated the relationship between them. That's because, Elizabeth always asked why the minister was using the veil and he never answered, because the veil, in fact, didn't matter. However, curiosity caused the whole community, including Elizabeth, to be dominated by the vein, which exercised great power over everyone.

The fact that Elizabeth's relationship with the minister deteriorates because of the vein shows the veu's power over people's thoughts and actions.
