Answer 2

Answer:

The text shows the price of following the crowd because some people know that how the “wretched” aliens are being treated is wrong but they don't feel comfortable standing up for them when no one else is and because they look weird to them. Because of this the aliens get mistreated.

Explanation:

“One woman from among us offered to book a single room for the aliens for two nights, that being all she could afford on her teacher’s salary. She said this with undisguised hope, as if she thought her offer would inspire others. But silence followed her remark, and we avoided her eyes. “(24)
