Question 146 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

Which quotation from chapter 2 of Night by Elie Wiesel best demonstrates the author’s viewpoint about the dehumanization of the passengers?

Answer

“‘There are eighty of you in the car,’ the German officer added. ‘If anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs.’”

“On the first day of the journey, she had already begun to moan. She kept asking why she had been separated from her family.”

“When they came back, they told us that they had learned, in exchange for a gold watch, that this was the final destination.”

“But there was nothing outside but darkness. We returned to our places, shame in our souls but fear gnawing at us nevertheless.”

Explanation

The threat that the passengers will be shot “like dogs” treats them as less than human and shows how the officers strip away their dignity and individuality. The quotation also reduces them to a numbered group whose lives are controlled by the guards. Choice B focuses on one passenger’s distress, while C and D describe events and reactions rather than directly showing this dehumanizing treatment.
