Question

(a) Escape through the window
(b) Surrender to their fate
(c) Call for help
(d) Find a fire extinguisher

Answer 1

Elle briefly consider when he believes that they are going to be burned alive is b) Surrender to their fate

Step-by-step explanation:

When Elle believes that they are going to be burned alive, he briefly considers surrendering to their fate.

This is evident when he thinks to himself, “Maybe it’s better to just give up and accept our fate” (Paragraph 1). This idea is rooted in the fear of death and the hopelessness of the situation, as Elle feels that there is no way to escape the flames.

However, this idea is quickly dismissed as Elle realizes that surrendering would mean giving up and not fighting for their lives (Paragraph 2). Instead, Elle decides to focus on finding a way to escape and survive the fire.

So correct option is b) Surrender to their fate
