Answer 1

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Scout learned quite a few lessons about religious people from from the teachings of Miss Maudie, this include, Being strong and firm in the face of trials and tribulation; this is exemplified when disaster befell her and her house got burnt, Miss Maudie was expected to grieve uncontrollably, however, that wasn't the case as she was firm and instead more concerned about the hereafter which she believed should be man's ultimate goal.

Also, Miss Maudie preached about moderation in our actions and the dangers of being extreme in our dealings. This was revealed in the comments she made about the excessive nature of Arthur's punishment.

Furthermore, Mrs. Maudie subtle jab at Mrs. Merriweather hypocritical behavior during the dinner at Atticus house was another clear evidence of Mrs. Maudie's hatred towards hypocritical behavior.
