Question

Read the excerpt from The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.

58. LONG SHOT – STEVE 58.

As he walks toward them from across the street.

STEVE

Go ahead, what's my wife said? Let's get it all out. Let's pick out every idiosyncrasy of every single man, woman, and child on the street. And then we might as well set up some kind of a kangaroo court. How about a firing squad at dawn, Charlie, so we can get rid of all the suspects. Narrow them down. Make it easier for you.

DON

There's no need gettin' so upset, Steve. It's just that . . . well . . . Myra's talked about how there's been plenty of nights you spent hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio or something. Well, none of us have ever seen that radio—

Based on the evidence in the excerpt, what will most likely happen next?

The crowd will turn against Steve, believing he is an alien in disguise.
Steve will reveal himself to be an invading alien and attack the crowd.
Don will apologize to Steve for falsely accusing Steve of being an alien.
Steve’s wife will save her husband as the crowd begins to attack him.

Answer 1

Answer:

The crowd will turn against Steve, believing he is an alien in disguise.

Explanation:

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street by Rod Sterling tells the fictional story of how a community began to suspect their neighbors of being aliens who came to spy on humans. Aided by Tommy's story of how an alien group resided as a family to spy over mankind, the people began to check out the suspicious people they believe could be an alien.

From the given conversation between Don and Steve, we can infer that the people had begun to be suspicious of his lifestyle. Added to that, his own wife had also admitted that he'd "spend hours down in your basement workin' on some kind of radio or something" which none had seen.

The given excerpt shows that the people will suspect Steve of being an alien in disguise and turn against him.
