Which of the following inferences is best supported by paragraphs 12-16?
When I was left alone with Betsey she, too, asked me in her high-pitched voice: "Do people in league
with the devil actually exist, Tituba? Do they?"
I took her in my arms. "What does it matter? Aren't I here to protect you if they try to harm you?"
She looked straight at me and a shadow that I tried to dispel was dancing in the back of her eyes.
"Tituba knows the words that cure every sickness, that heal every wound, and untie every knot. Don't
you know that?"
She remained silent, her body trembling even more despite my words of consolation. I hugged her up
against me and the wings of her heart beat desperately like a bird in a cage, while I said over and over
again: "Tituba can do anything. Tituba knows everything. Tituba sees everything."
A. Tituba cares for the girls.
B. Betsey is afraid of Tituba.
C. Betsey is Tituba's favorite.
D. Tituba hates Betsey.
