What does Alex agree to do after his mom explains that he can't legally run a detective business?

• A. Take down the flyers
• B. Open a coffee shop
• C. Move away
• D. Hire a lawyer

Answer: (A)

When people are told to stop something, a natural response is to remove anything that promotes or enables that activity. In this moment, Alex agrees to take down the flyers because they advertised a detective business, which his mom has just explained he can’t legally run. Taking the flyers down is a direct, concrete action that shows he’s choosing to comply with the rule and avoid promoting something he isn’t allowed to do. It’s a clear signal of understanding and a practical step to prevent trouble. Other options don’t fit the situation as well. Opening a coffee shop would still be pursuing a business, just of a different kind. Moving away doesn’t address the legal restriction at all. Hiring a lawyer could indicate trying to challenge the rule, whereas the moment described is about stopping the promotion itself.
