Answer:
A. However, that won't even be close to how much it will cost sports teams and amusement parks to close down.
Explanation:
When it comes to the economy, the first thing you look for is anything relating to the production of goods and the earning of money. Big money making giants like Amusement parks and Sports teams contribute a lot to the revenue/growth in the economy.
The other answer choices talk about schools closing(relating to education), death tolls(relating to health), and the canceling of major events(relating to lack of entertainment).
Answer A is the only one that mentions the loss of money in major corporations, which will negatively affect the economy.
The correct answer is "filled with".
The poem develops a dramatic tension with the use of oxymoronic contrasts that symbolize the opposition of the physical decay of the author's mother with the memories of her prime, when she was a young housewife who ran her household as a "High priestess".
The memories the author has of her mother are always oxymoronic. She remembers her during her respective youths (when the author was a little girl and the mother a young housewife) but the season that she remembers is a season that foreshadows decay, Autumn. Yet, she associates Autumn with "keen sunshine, stirred with the activity of those energetic days".
Thus, the great jars laden with the raw green pickles symbolize her mother's body. A great old jar laden with the memories of those green years, all those green memories when the author was as young and as small as a pickle. Her mother is old now, but the author prefers to remember her youthful days when death and decay were only looming on the horizon but still very far. Her mother is not an empty old vessel but laden with the rich and loving memories of her life.

Another character is Mildred, the wife of Montag, she is portrayed as someone who has a love for entertainment that is so strong to the extent it overshadows that of her husband. Her behavior contrast with that of Clarisse who has a healthy view of entertainment.
What the author, Montag is saying through his characters is that
- those in his society do not value human life, recall we were told the police don't punish those who over speed, thus accidents occur often.
- those in his society are less concerned about their families; which was made evident in the case of Mildred.
