3. PART A: What does the word "accomplice" mean as it is
used in paragraph 12?
A the victim of a Time
B a person who helps another commit a crime
c a person who accuses someone else of committing a
crime
D a person who is slow to act

B. a person who helps another commit a crime

the correct answer option for this is: false.

explanation:

we are given the following statement 'hawthorne thought of himself as a novelist' which is false.

the truth is that nathaniel hawthorne thought of himself as a romancer, rather than a novelist.

though it is ironic of him of him to consider himself a romancer rather than a novelist despite of the innocent women killings in the salem witch trials which occurred in colonial massachusetts between 1692 and 1693 .
