Final answer:

The evidence found in Elizabeth Proctor's home was a sewn doll with a pin in it, which related to the larger context of the Salem Witch Trials of 1692.

Step-by-step explanation:

The proof found in Elizabeth Proctor's home that led to the belief in Abigail's accusations was a sewn doll with a pin stuck in the middle of it. The context of this answer relates to the Salem Witch Trials in 1692, where several girls in Salem Village, Massachusetts, claimed to have been afflicted by witchcraft, leading to mass hysteria and trials that resulted in the execution of 19 people. This particular episode of witch trials is a prominent example of how fear and superstition can lead to injustice and the importance of critical thought and due process in legal matters.

Answer:

The doll with the pin in it

Step-by-step explanation:

Abigail accused Eliz's spirit of stabbing her.
Mary Warren says that Abigail saw her sewing. The men will take Eliz into custody.

Abigail wants Eliz arrested and creates "evidence" to present to the court. She wants to have Eliz charged with witchcraft,

The evidence is so overwhelming when Abigail stabs herself to try and get them to arrest Eliz.
