## Step 1<br />The problem is a comprehension question from the play "The Crucible" by Arthur Miller. The question asks us to identify the characteristic of Elizabeth Proctor that best explains her lack of emotional response to Judge Danforth's accusation.<br /><br />## Step 2<br />We need to analyze each option and determine which one best fits the context of the play.<br /><br />## Step 3<br />Option a suggests that Elizabeth is genuinely unfeeling and doesn't love her husband much. This doesn't align with the play's context, as Elizabeth is known for her love and loyalty to her husband.<br /><br />## Step 4<br />Option b suggests that Elizabeth is vindictive and is glad that John will pay the price for his adultery. This is not consistent with the play's context, as Elizabeth is not vindictive but rather forgiving.<br /><br />## Step 5<br />Option c suggests that Elizabeth is too trusting and doesn't believe they will hang John. This is not consistent with the play's context, as Elizabeth is not overly trusting but rather cautious.<br /><br />## Step 6<br />Option d suggests that Elizabeth is proud and doesn't want to give him the satisfaction of showing emotion. This aligns with the play's context, as Elizabeth is known for her pride and determination to maintain her dignity.
