2) Changing shape
3) Making Betty do something
4) Seeing them with the Devil

Answer 1

Abigail Williams accused Sarah Good and Goody Osborne of conjuring spirits during the Salem Witch Trials, marked by mass hysteria and Puritan intolerance for non-conformity.

Step-by-step explanation:

Abigail Williams accused Sarah Good and Goody Osborne of conjuring spirits and association with the devil. During the Salem Witch Trials, which were steeped in mass adolescent hysteria, accusations from the afflicted girls led to Sarah Good, a homeless beggar, and Sarah Osborne, who rarely attended church, becoming prime suspects of witchcraft. The Puritan society of the time had little tolerance for non-conformity, seeing it as a sign of the devil's work.
