Read the excerpt from Act 2 of The Monsters Are Due on

The Maple Street.

CHARLIE (CONTD)
He comes walkin' out of the darkness-how am I
supposed to

know who he was?


(he grabs Steve)

What statement best reflects the theme expresses in this excerpt?

O Fear, combined with crowd mentality, leads people to
make poor decisions.
O People should not be blamed for decisions they make in the heat of the moment.
O A crowd is always more powerful in intense situations
than a single person.
O A group of people is responsible for the actions of each if it’s members.
