Answer:

1. His daughter's condition and the possible connection to her inappropriate activities

in the forest.

2. Hale is considered an expert in matters of witchcraft, demonology and the Devil

Explanation:

This question refers to a play "Crucible" by famous playwright Arthur Miller. It is set in late 1600s in Salem, Massachusetts and is heavily inspired by infamous Salem witch hunt.

In the opening scene, Reverend Parris is praying next to his daughter, Betty's bed. Betty is laying there, unconscious, ever since her father found her dancing around fire in the forest with her friends in a, what he thought to be, some kind of ritual. Rumors of witchcrafts are spreading through town and the Reverend is afraid it might be somehow connected to him and that he will suffer the consequences. To investigate this, he sends for Reverend Hale, who is famous for being an expert in the field of witchcraft and demonology, hoping he might help him with resolving the situation.
