C.some of the most pious Christians in the town
D.known witches and warlocks

Answer 1

Goodman Brown sees both pious Christians and known witches and warlocks in the forest, as well as respected members of society, casting a complex shadow on the nature of good and evil.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Nathaniel Hawthorne's "Young Goodman Brown," Goodman Brown encounters a mixture of individuals in the forest; these individuals include some of the most pious Christians in the town as well as known witches and warlocks. Among the gathering, he sees faces that belong to respected members of society such as the deacon of the church and various honorable women, juxtaposed with disreputable individuals of ill fame. However, it is also suggested that Goodman Brown may be experiencing all of this in a dream-like state, questioning the reality of these events.
