Answer 1

I believe the answer is A, "it resembles a snake which is associated with sin and evil"

Step-by-step explanation:

In the passage of Young Goodman Brown, the text explains how the staff seems "snake-like". It is also akin to a Bilbical bible story of which Egyptian magicians would throw down rods that became snakes, which was hinted at when Goodman Brown "threw [the rod] down at [the old lady's] feet...[the rod] being one of the rods which its owner had formerly lent to Egyptian Magi". Hope this helps.
