Explanation
Lying in court is considered a serious offense as it undermines the integrity of the legal system. It involves providing false information or testimony under oath, which can lead to wrongful convictions or the acquittal of guilty individuals. This act not only obstructs justice but also erodes public trust in the judicial system. Consequently, being branded with the letter "P" signifies that the individual has committed perjury and is being publicly shamed for their dishonesty in court.

Explanation
The correct answer is "Witchery" because being strapped into the "Ducking Stool" and drowned was a common method used during witch trials to determine if a person was a witch. It was believed that witches were capable of surviving being submerged underwater, so if the accused person drowned, they were considered innocent. This form of punishment was based on the superstitious belief in witchcraft and was used to persecute individuals who were suspected of practicing dark magic.
