Answer 1

Answer:

B. It would sound scarier to its listening audience.

Explanation:

The change in setting was made aiming to cause a sense of urgency in Americans, if a threat, like an alien invasion, is happening in another country far away, it does not seem too scary, but it becomes much more scary to the audience if that threat is happening where they live.

Therefore, the answer is

B. It would sound scarier to its listening audience.
