Answer:
Steve's perspective about the group approaching Les Goodman's house is:
B. He fears for Goodman's safety in the mob.
Explanation:
Steve and Les Goodman are characters on "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street," an episode of the TV show "The Twilight Zone".
In the story, after a strange object flies across the sky followed by a power outage, the neighbors of Maple Street begin to suspect one another. A boy claims that it was probably aliens messing with them, and that some aliens could very well be living among them, in disguise. His theory is enough to spark suspicions and accusations.<u> At a certain point, a group gathers to march toward Les Goodman's house, since they suspect him. Steve is the only one who seems to have maintained his sanity, and he tries to urge others to be reasonable as well. Steve fears for Goodman's safety. He knows that a mob is at the same time powerful and unreasonable. He is afraid that they may end up hurting Goodman without any proof of his being an alien.</u>
