Description

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure it's the first one. 451 degrees is the temp which paper burns, the book is about book burning. There aren't 451 characters that are focused on, I don't think 451 pertains to the address or district...it was really vague to make it seem like it could happen anywhere to anyone.
