Answer 1

Captain Beatty reveals that Clarisse's family were rebels, and suggests that Clarisse's problem was being too curious.

Step-by-step explanation:

Captain Beatty reveals that Clarisse's family were rebels, and he suggests that Clarisse's problem was being too curious. In the novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Captain Beatty explains that Clarisse's family didn't fit in with the conformist society because they valued individuality and independent thinking, which was seen as rebellious. Clarisse's curiosity and questioning of the world around her also made her a target in a society that discouraged deep thinking.
