The right answer is:

What most likely inspired Goodwin's examination of the boy’s cruel behavior toward one another in Lord of the flies was his own experience working as a teacher after WWII.

He didn’t like working as a teacher very much, it is said he often spent class periods working on his own novels.

He once said to his wife; “Wouldn’t it be a good idea if I wrote a book about children on an island, children who behave in the way children really would behave?”

Which makes us wonder, which type of students was he teaching?

Step-by-step explanation:

Without a set of choices this short explanation may help you decide.
