The answer to this question largely depends on where in the play a reader is. Tituba is initially the person that is accused of calling on the Devil and practicing witchcraft. Like most people, Tituba has a strong sense of self preservation. She wants to pass the blame on to somebody else, and unfortunately Putnam, Parris, and Hale all push for her to name the names of other people in league with the Devil. The Enotes question could apply to this moment. Readers should then attempt to guess on who Tituba could name based on a couple of things. Who can Tituba name that would be believable, or who is an enemy of the people in the room? If this is your first time through the play, you aren't likely to guess Osburn or Good at this point. It is who gets accused next, but readers have no reason to be suspicious of them until after we learn of Osburn's bad luck as a midwife. At this point in the play, I would guess Giles Corey or his wife. Corey admits to Hale that he sometimes sees his wife reading strange books. Hale is immediately suspicious of this, and Corey presents himself as fairly superstitious with his ability and inability to pray at certain times. It's likely that Tituba knows that the Corey family is a bit odd in the community, so it would be an easy target for her to name as suspected witches. She doesn't, but Giles will eventually be accused.

In the Act 1 the reader finds that Abigail has tried to cast a spell on Elizabeth Proctor to kill her because she wants to b with John John Proctor. This is the event that led to the accusations in the first place. Knowing this, the reader can assume that eventually Elizabeth's name will be brought up because that was Abigail's original plan. Another person that might later be accused is Rebecca Nurse. Ann Putnam has expressed her hatred of Rebecca Nurse because she has healthy children while Ann Putnam has lost many babies in child birth. Anne Putnam's daughter is also part of the group of girls accusing members of the community.
