Which element of the literary plot structure is identified in the following
passage? A small upper bedroom in the home of Reverend Samuel Parris,
Salem, Massachusetts, in the spring of the year 1692. There is a narrow
window at the left. Through its leaded panes the morning sunlight streams.
A candle still burns near the bed, which is at the right. A chest, a chair, and
a small table are the other furnishings. At the back a door opens on the
landing of the stairway to the ground floor. The room gives of an air of
clean spareness. The roof rafters are exposed, and the wood colors are raw
and unmellowed. As the curtain rises, Reverend Parris is discovered
kneeling be-side the bed, evidently in prayer. His daughter, Betty Parris,
aged ten, is lying on the bed, inert.*
