Final answer:

The events in question pertain to the Salem witch trials and must be ordered as follows: Susanna Walcott's news to Reverend Parris, Parris sending for Reverend Hale, Mrs. Putnam's claim about Betty, and Mrs. Putnam admitting to sending Ruth to Tituba.

Step-by-step explanation:

The events from a story involving witchcraft in Salem can be put into chronological order as follows:

  1. Susanna Walcott tells Reverend Parris that the doctor thinks they should see if "unnatural things" have caused Betty's illness.
  2. Reverend Parris sends for Reverend Hale to determine if Betty might be possessed.
  3. Mrs. Putnam tells Reverend Parris that she heard Betty flew over a barn last night.
  4. Mrs. Putnam reveals that she sent her daughter Ruth to Tituba to see if Ruth could communicate with Mrs. Putnam's dead babies.

This sequence aligns with the events as they unfolded during the Salem witch trials, a period of mass hysteria and fear of devilry in the Puritan community.
