Answer:

If he is happy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Nearing the end of the interaction, Clarisse asks Montag if he's happy, and it sticks with him- really makes him think. Even by the end of Part 1 of Fahrenheit 451, (the hearth and the salamander) it's very evident that Guy Montag is not happy. Hope this helps!

Answer:

The question that Clairisse asks Montag before she leaves him that causes him to begin thinking is that if he is happy.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • To make Montag aware of his own feelings, Clairisse attempts to ask Montag if he is happy, knowing full well that he would be offended by that question.
  • Clairisse successfully puts Montag into a loop of thoughts before she leaves and tends Montag to think whether he is really happy because Clairisse believes that he is not.
