1. Why did Danforth grant Elizabeth extra time?

Explanation

Danforth granted Elizabeth extra time because she claimed to be pregnant. This likely influenced his decision as he may have considered the potential impact on the unborn child if Elizabeth were to be executed. Additionally, the idea of executing a pregnant woman could have been seen as morally objectionable. Therefore, granting her extra time would allow for further consideration of her situation and potentially a more informed decision.
