Which statement best represents the power of the modern-day monster on readers?

a. the author challenges readers to identify the monster based on physical appearance.
b. they cause readers to fear those in society who are different from them.
c. the author reminds readers that the monster's only motive is to spread evil.
d. the monster challenges readers to recognize that a monster could be an ordinary person, not just an outcast.

The correct answer is D.

People usually associate people who are different in some sense -antisocials, people with a physical deformity or people with strange interests- with monsters.

However, the author challenges readers to realize that being different does not mean the person is a monster, and that, ordinary looking people could be monsters in disguise.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
