The unlikely story he told proved to be a cunning ploy at deception.
This question is missing the answer options. I have found the complete question online. Since the excerpt is the same, I will omit it.
What is Steve's perspective about the group approaching Les Goodman's house?
A. He hopes the mob will scare Goodman.
B. He fears for Goodman's safety in the mob.
C. He hopes that Goodman caused the outage.
D. He fears for his own safety in the mob.
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>
B. The word 'another' points to a specific noun, and its meaning is only understood because it was mentioned in previous context.
The excerpt the article provides evidence that supports this claim is "Salman Rushdie, a Nobel candidate himself, called Dylan ‘the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.’”
<h3>What is an excerpt?</h3>
An excerpt is an extract from a story or a passage. The excerpt is taken from the story, then questions are made from that excerpt to answer.
The correct options are attached here:
A. "the Swedish academy's decision to honor Dylan set off an online debate."
B. "Salman Rushdie, a Nobel candidate himself, called Dylan ‘the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.’”
C. "dylan is of course enormously influential." “The Nobel is given for a body of work."
Thus, the correct option is B. "Salman Rushdie, a Nobel candidate himself, called Dylan ‘the brilliant inheritor of the bardic tradition.’”
