Question

read the excerpt from part 2 of \flowers for algernon.\ i have no more money and mrs. flynn says i got to go to work somewhere and pay the rent because i havent paid for over two months. i dont know any work but the job i used to have at donnegans plastic box company. how does charlies inability to pay rent affect the plot? it causes charlie to ask dr. strauss whether he can return to the lab. it forces charlie to request that miss kinnian give him money. it forces charlie to talk to mr. donnegan about being a janitor again. it causes charlie to tell frank reilly that he needs protection.

Explanation:

In Flowers for Algernon, as Charlie's intelligence declines, he can no longer keep the job he had after the surgery, leaving him unable to pay rent. His only known former job was as a janitor at Donnegan's Plastic Box Company, so his financial desperation pushes him to reach out to Mr. Donnegan to ask for that janitor position again. The other options do not align with the plot events tied to his rent crisis.

Answer:

It forces Charlie to talk to Mr. Donnegan about being a janitor again.
