1. What reason does Dimmesdale give for why Pearl should remain with her mother instead of being taken away by the Puritan officials?

He says the child should remain with Hester because no man has come forward to claim the girl.
He says Pearl is too wild for anyone but Hester to properly raise her.
He says Hester will become a witch like the Governor's sister if they take Pearl
He says God gave Pearl to Hester in order to lead her away from sin and toward goodness.
