Homework Help - November 2006

The crucible means "a container for melting or purifying metals" and "a severe test."

The question is "Why are both meanings appropriate for Miller's play?"

I have so far "The Crucible is an appropriate title because the characters of the play go through a severe trial that will break down their intentions."

I feel that it is way too weak. Can anyone help me make it stronger?

The surface of Big Lake is 31 ft above the surface of Long Lake. Long Lake is half as deep as Big Lake and the bottom of Long Lake is 8 ft below the bottom of Big Lake. Clear Lake's surface is 10 ft below the surface of Big Lake and its bottom is 6 ft above the bottom of Long Lake. How deep is each lake?


Please help.. thank you =)

I sketched them to try and figure out the answer.
I think Long Lake is 23 ft deep, Big Lake is 46 ft, and Clear Lake is 46 ft. Is this right?

..and is this statement correct about the lakes...?
Clear Lake is 2 ft below Big Lake.

again..Thank you so much ^_^

Will someone please help me and explain this?


A very long hallway has 100 lights with pull cords hanging from the ceiling. All the lights are off. A person comes along and pulls every cord, turning on all the lights. A second person comes along and pulls every second cord. This would turn off light numbers 2, 4, 6 etc. A third person comes along and pulls every third cord. Turning on some lights and turning off others. This continues until the one hundredth person comes along and pulls the one hundredth cord. At this point, which lights are on?

hint- 10 lights total are on.
