question 2 of 10
which statement best represents the power of the modern-day monster on
readers?

a. readers are forced to consider the possible monstrous actions
inside of themselves, like hatred or prejudice.

b. readers learn to fear those who have exceptional physical
strength and superhuman abilities.

c. the author reminds readers that the monsters only motive is to
spread evil.

d. the author challenges readers to identify the monster based on
physical appearance.

Explanation:

To determine the best statement about the power of modern - day monsters on readers, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Modern - day monsters often are not just external beings but also represent internal flaws like hatred or prejudice. Making readers consider these within themselves is a powerful aspect of modern monster narratives, as it promotes self - reflection.
• Option B: Modern monsters are not typically defined by physical strength and superhuman abilities in the way traditional monsters (like mythical creatures) were. So this does not represent the power of modern - day monsters well.
• Option C: Modern monster narratives are more complex, and monsters are not usually portrayed as having only the motive to spread evil. They often have more nuanced motivations, so this is incorrect.
• Option D: Modern monster stories do not focus on identifying monsters by physical appearance. In fact, they often subvert the idea that monsters can be identified solely by looks, so this is wrong.

Answer:

A. Readers are forced to consider the possible monstrous actions inside of themselves, like hatred or prejudice.
