Answer:
Describe to the reader a brave act by a historical figure
Explanation:
In the given excerpt, the author tells us about a heroic act of general Benedict Arnold, an important figure in the Revolutionary War. The purpose is not to show us how dangerous or heroic it is to question orders. Sometimes it is dangerous (like in this case), but sometimes it's not. The act of challenging orders is not heroic on its own, although, in this case, it turned out to be.

And it also shows how this scenario is maintained by the government's totalitarian control.
The rest of the answers, in which people disappear, aliens replace teenagers and a genius boy is discovered living in a library cellar, would make for good sci-fi scenarios rahter than dystopian societies.
