By going to the river, Montag can potentially use it as a means of transportation or a barrier to throw off pursuers. The hobo camp, on the other hand, could provide him with a community of people who are living outside of the government's control and may be able to offer him protection and support.

- C.

- D.
  
  That the world was about to end
Correct Answer
B. The news that the chase for him had "ended"

Explanation
The man showed Montag on TV the news that the chase for him had "ended". This means that Montag's pursuit by the authorities had come to a halt or had been called off. This information is significant as it indicates a change in the situation and provides a momentary relief for Montag, suggesting that he may no longer be in immediate danger.

Read the following quote and state who said it "'There must be something in books, things we can't imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don't stay for nothing.'"
- A.
  
  Montag
- B.
  
  Mildred
- C.
  
  Beatty
- D.
  
  Clarisse
Correct Answer
A. Montag

Explanation
In this quote, the speaker is questioning why a woman would choose to stay in a burning house, suggesting that there must be something valuable or important in books that would motivate her to do so. The speaker's curiosity and belief in the power of books implies that they are likely someone who has been influenced by books themselves. Montag, the protagonist in Ray Bradbury's novel Fahrenheit 451, fits this description as he starts to question the society's ban on books and becomes curious about their content. Therefore, the correct answer is Montag.
