Why does Randy refuse to fight?

• A. He believes it won't change anything.
• B. He wants to avoid trouble with his friends.
• C. He is tired of fighting.
• D. He says that it won't change anything.

Answer: (D)

Randy’s decision to back out is driven by the explicit reason he gives: fighting won’t change anything. In the scene about the rumble, he makes clear that engaging in the fight would be futile and would just perpetuate the violence. That direct statement—that it won’t alter the outcome—is the reason he refuses to participate. Other feelings like wanting to avoid trouble or being tired are related, but the moment’s emphasis is on his claim that the fight wouldn’t change anything, which is why this option best fits.
