<em>D)</em><em> An electrical storm is not responsible.</em>
Explanation:
<em>The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street </em>is one of the episodes of the American series The Twilight Zone. It tells us a story about people who live on Maple Street. Sudden lack of electricity and further events leads to a little boy Tommy identifying characteristics of one comic book about an alien invasion in their current situation. That slowly turns people against each other and causes a great amount of panic with lethal consequences.
In the given excerpt, we have a dialogue from the start of the story, where electricity just vanished and the first assumption made is that was due to an electrical storm, but Charlie refused that idea by giving logical arguments.
This makes the reader have a sense of suspense for the novel. The reader is trying to figure out how he dies and what would happen afterwards. Most books don't tell you about the characters fate till the end when you find out for yourself. The author knew that this would stand out to the reader creating a sense of suspense.
