Which excerpt from Act 2 of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street best reflects its theme?

"Charlie, don't tell me what I can afford! And stop telling me who's dangerous and who isn't and who's safe and who's a menace."
"The boy at first doesn't understand and then realizing the eyes are all on him, buries his face against his mother, Sally."
"As suddenly Charlie's lights go off and the lights in another house go on. They stay on for a moment then from across the street other lights go on. . . ."
"There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices—to be found only in the minds of men."

I believe the fourth option is the correct answer. "There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices—to be found only in the minds of men."

Answer:

The excerpt from Act 2 of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street that best reflects its theme is "There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices—to be found only in the minds of men."

Step-by-step explanation:

The main theme of The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street - the twenty-second episode of The Twilight Zone - is how people can be their own worst enemy, then this excerpt best reflects it by saying that thoughts, attitudes, prejudices can be used as weapons as people can hurt in many ways others by how do they act and express themselves.
