Question

"But what happened to those things? Snow, and the rest of it?""Climate Control. Snow made growing food difficult, limited the agricultural periods. And unpredictable weather made transportation almost impossible at times. It wasn't a practical thing, so it became obsolete when we went toSameness. "And hills, too," he added. "They made conveyance [transport] of goods unwieldy [difficult]. Trucks; buses. Slowed them down. So--" He waved his hand, as if a gesture had caused hills to disappear. "Sameness," he concluded. Jonas frowned. "I wish we had those things, still. Just now and then." The old man smiled. "So do I," he said. "But that choice is not ours." From the passage above, what can readers infer about the society/culture of the community?

Question 2 options:

The government controls every aspect of life in the community so that citizens are not at all aware of life outside their own society.


Due to climate change, snow no longer exists in Jonas’s world.


People have forgotten how to drive on hills.


The community has seasons and weather just like we do

Answer 1

I think the correct answer is the first one: "The government controls every aspect of life in the community so that citizens are not at all aware of life outside their own society." Since the establishment of Sameness, things that made living difficult had disappeared, such as snow and hills, and now people hardly remember it.
