Life-Changing Journeys — Test

Question 6 • English Language Arts 10

Which quotation from chapter 2 of Night by Elie Wiesel best demonstrates the author’s viewpoint about the dehumanization of the passengers?

Answer

“‘There are eighty of you in the car,’ the German officer added. ‘If anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs.’”

“On the first day of the journey, she had already begun to moan. She kept asking why she had been separated from her family.”

“When they came back, they told us that they had learned, in exchange for a gold watch, that this was the final destination.”

“But there was nothing outside but darkness. We returned to our places, shame in our souls but fear gnawing at us nevertheless.”

Explanation

The threat to shoot everyone “like dogs” compares the passengers to animals and treats their lives as disposable. This directly shows how the passengers are stripped of dignity and individuality, making choice A the clearest example of dehumanization.
