What is Mr Jerusalem's idea to 'fight' back during The Truce?

• A. Peace March
• B. Economic boycott
• C. Strike
• D. Petition drive

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is using a nonviolent, public demonstration to apply pressure while a ceasefire is in place. In the setup of The Truce, Mr. Jerusalem suggests a Peace March as a way to "fight back" without breaking the pause in fighting. A peaceful march mobilizes the carts, draws public attention, and shows solidarity and moral purpose, making the case for change through visibility and consent rather than aggression. It fits the spirit of the truce by pressuring decision-makers while avoiding violence. Other options—like a strike or economic boycott—could disrupt the city and break the truce, and a petition drive, while useful, wouldn’t convey the same united, public-show of force that a march does. The march directly embodies a principled, peaceful challenge that aligns with the moment.
