Capitals and Commas — Unit test

Question 4 • CA-Common Core English Language Arts 11 B

How does the resolution of Act 2 of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street relate to the teleplay’s overall message?

Answer

The neighborhood begins to destroy itself, showing that fear and panic can be the most dangerous weapons.

The neighborhood is invaded, demonstrating that in the midst of panic, people become vulnerable.

The neighborhood comes together, showing that humans are stronger than aliens.

The neighborhood survives, demonstrating that fear and panic can be overcome with reason.

Explanation

At the end of Act 2, the residents’ fear and suspicion turn them against one another, and the neighborhood descends into violence. The aliens’ plan succeeds because the people destroy their own trust and community without needing an invasion. This supports the teleplay’s message that fear and panic can be more dangerous than an outside enemy.
