Making Predictions in The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

Question 10 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Which excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street best foreshadows the idea that the residents of Maple Street are becoming a dangerous mob?

Answer
A
The crowd picks this up again and with it their suspicions come back with a rush. The murmur becomes a loud chant filling the air with accusations and demands for action. Two of the men pass Don right up the steps. Goodman flattens himself against the screen door.
B
“There's something you can do, Charlie. You could go home and keep your mouth shut. You could quit strutting around like a self-appointed hanging judge and just climb into bed and forget it.”
C
“Well . . . sometimes I go to bed late at night. A couple of times . . . a couple of times I'd come out on the porch and I'd see Mr. Goodman here in the wee hours of the morning standing out in front of his house . . . looking up at the sky.”
D
"That don't prove a thing. Any guy who'd spend his time lookin' up at the sky early in the morning—well there's something wrong with that kind of a person. There's something that ain't legitimate."

Explanation

Choice A shows the crowd’s suspicions turning into a loud chant and calls for action, while men move toward Don and Goodman retreats behind the door. These details foreshadow the residents acting together as a threatening mob. The other excerpts show individual accusations or arguments, but not the crowd’s growing, dangerous behavior.
