When the Central Committee allowed them to speak in the camp on the condition they did not pass the hat, who disappeared from Weedpatch and never returned?

• A. The preachers
• B. The children
• C. The farmers
• D. The volunteers

Answer: (A)

Weedpatch tests how outside voices are handled and how the camp guards against manipulation from beyond its community. The Central Committee wants to let people speak without turning the gathering into a money-raising spectacle, so they forbid passing the hat. The preachers, who would typically rely on donations, can’t stay under that rule and disappear, never to return. This shows the camp’s authority to regulate influence and the migrants’ preference for keeping their space free from such external fundraising schemes.
