PLEASE HELP ASAP

Read the passage.

excerpt from "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly"
by Benjamin Franklin

The Woman Accuser, being told that she did not sink, would be duck’d a second Time; when she swam again as light as before.

Upon which she declared, That she believed the Accused had bewitched her to make her so light, and that she would be duck’d again a Hundred Times, but she would duck the Devil out of her.

Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this narrative.

Which phrase from the excerpt most clearly makes the witch trial seem ridiculous?

"…being told that she did not sink…"
"…she would duck the Devil out of her."
"…the Accused had bewitched her…"
"…she swam again as light as before."
