Question

question 5 of 10
which scenario would best fit in a dystopian story?

a. chuckleboy and dulldon, archenemies, battle it out for the right to attend sylvesters 13th birthday party; the threat of no - fun hangs in the balance.

b. aliens abduct a teenager and a clone replaces him in real life, so he must figure out how to warn his family of the imposter.

c. citizens are given 25 years of life to prove their worth to society; if they fail to do great things with their lives, they are eliminated.

d. while working late one night, the local librarian discovers a child with a wild and inventive imagination living among the books stored away in the library cellar.

Explanation:

Dystopian stories depict oppressive, dehumanizing societies with extreme control. Option C describes a society imposing a harsh, life-or-death condition on citizens to "prove worth," which aligns with dystopian themes of systemic oppression and loss of individual autonomy. Other options focus on trivial conflicts (A), alien abduction (B), or whimsical discovery (D), which do not fit dystopian characteristics.

Answer:

C. Citizens are given 25 years of life to prove their worth to society; if they fail to do great things with their lives, they are eliminated.
