What was Rob's fate as a result of the crash?

• A. He survived with minor injuries
• B. He escaped from the vehicle
• C. He died in the crash
• D. He was unconscious but later recovered

Answer: (C)

Rob’s fate in this moment is that he dies as a result of the crash. The story presents the wreck as a fatal event for Rob, not something that leaves him with minor injuries, an escape, or a temporary unconscious state. This irreversible outcome is what drives the subsequent events, including the emotional and legal questions the characters confront. Because the crash ends Rob’s life, the other possibilities—surviving with minor injuries, escaping, or being unconscious but later recovering—do not align with what actually happens in the narrative.
