Answer 1

Answer:

Character.

Explanation:

In "The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street", Rod Sterling writes the sci-fi scene of an alien invasion on the neighborhood of Maple Street which led to the suspicion of each other among the people. By the end of the story, the aliens had alienated away from the humans who are busy fighting against each other, suspecting one another of being the alien among them.

The given passage is from when Les Goodman was suspected by the mob as being the alien among them. While everyone's appliances and cars couldn't start, his began to work which further began the suspicion on him. By Don's admittance "And he never did come out to look at that thing that flew overhead. He wasn't even interested" shows how Les was characterized among the whole neighborhood. He began to be regarded as the sole suspect for the alien among them, sent to "prepare things for the landing". This passage shows the characterization of how Les is considered by his neighbors.
