Why is it insufficient to explain ordinary peoples silence only through fear?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because propaganda, personal gain, prejudice and convenience could also have caused silence

Fear alone does not fully explain the passivity or silence of ordinary people. Nazi propaganda shaped opinions, antisemitic prejudice already existed, and some people gained jobs, property or social advantages from discriminatory policies. Thus, silence could result from fear along with agreement, self-interest and convenience. Option B wrongly denies that fear played any role. Exam tip: in such questions, prefer a multi-causal explanation over an absolute one.
