Question

Eliezer notices that Mrs. Schachter doesn’t seem affected by the optimism the other prisoners on the train feel when they hear what the two men who fetched water tell them. How does this contrast help to develop one of the key themes in Night?
A.) This contrast illustrates that an unstable woman like Mrs. Schacher should not be heeded.

B.) This contrast shows that an apparently insane person has correctly foreseen the real horrors that await them.

C.) This contrast demonstrates that Eliezer is too impressionable

D.) This contrast revealed that Mrs. Schachter becomes an impediment to the prisoners attempts to remain hopeful.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is b because bad things happen on trains.

Answer 2

From what I believe, 'D' seems to be the best option! Not 100% though!
