After the rescue, what did Alex's mother require him to do?

• A. Send the officers thank you notes
• B. Write a school report
• C. Speak to the press
• D. Attend a community meeting

Answer: (A)

Showing gratitude to those who helped is the main idea here. After a rescue, a thoughtful, straightforward way to acknowledge the officers’ effort is to express thanks in a personal, tangible form, like sending thank-you notes. This fits the social expectation of closing a dangerous incident with appreciation and respect for the people who risked themselves. Other actions would shift the focus away from gratitude—writing a school report emphasizes academics, speaking to the press brings in media attention, and attending a community meeting centers on public affairs. None of those align with the parent’s intent to properly thank the rescuers.
