Theme in The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street

Question 8 • FL-1001040-M/J Language Arts 2 B

Which line from Act 2 of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street helps to distinguish this teleplay as a work of science fiction rather than a work of fantasy fiction?

Answer
"
"Show them nothing! If they want to look inside our house – let them get a search warrant.”
A
A figure has suddenly materialized in the gloom and in the silence we can hear the clickety-clack of slow, measured footsteps on concrete as the figure walks slowly toward them.
"
"We're all scared of the same thing. I was just tryin' to . . . tryin' to protect my home, that's all! Look, all of you, that's all I was tryin' to do."
“
“Who do I talk to? I talk to monsters from outer space. I talk to three headed green men who fly over here in what look like meteors.”

Explanation

Science fiction often involves ideas connected to science or technology, such as extraterrestrial life and space travel. Choice D mentions “monsters from outer space,” “three headed green men,” and beings who arrive in objects that look like meteors, pointing to an imagined space-based explanation. The other lines focus on fear, suspicion, or a mysterious figure without identifying a science-fiction element.
