CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP M? From an early age, Jonas has rejected greed and material
wealth. Throughout his life, he has lived in a small, one-
room house with few comforts, yet he has always been happy and generous to his neighbors. After some
filmmakers create a documentary about Jonas, his
lifestyle starts to catch on; people all over the country
begin to scale down their complicated lives and embrace minimalism like Jonas. The economy suffers, however, and the leaders of industry come together to try to smear Jonas's reputation and make him seem like a fraud.

Select the most contrived ending to the story.
A. Jonas is driven into exile by the people who once supported him.
B. The plan backfires, and the economy starts to get even worse.
C. The industry leaders are successful, and Jonas's reputation is
ruined.
D. Jonas raises an army to violently overthrow the industry leaders.

D. Jonas raises an army to violently overthrow the industry leaders.

Explanation:

A contrived ending to the story is one created in a way that seems artificial and unrealistic. The most contrived ending would be the one where Jonas raises an army to violently overthrow the industry leaders.

The rest of the options seem more or less possible. Jonas' supporters could turn their back on him, the industry leaders' plan could backfire, or they could ruin Jonas' reputation. These endings would seem believable. However, it would be impossible for Jonas to raise an army. An individual wouldn't be able to do that in real life, which is why this type of ending wouldn't make sense.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
