In the hunger games, how did the capitol use the hunger games to control the districts?

Answers

"The main reason the Capital can use the games to control the people of the Districts is fear. The people of the Districts are fearful that if they revolt against the Capitol, in protest of the Games, that the Capitol will destroy their respective districts as they had in the past with District Thirteen.

The Capitol uses District Thirteen to remind the other districts that they hold and maintain power given they can destroy any district at any time.

Another way the Capitol could maintain power over the districts is by withholding supplies from them. While this is not stated in the first novel, is is certainly inferred by the way the people are fearful of losing the supplies that they need to survive. As one gets further from the Capitol, it is apparent that the districts become poorer. The Capitol uses this fear to suppress any revolts which may come about as a result of protesting the games."

hope this helps you!

The Hunger Games were made to inspire fear for the people.  The Games served as a reminder that the Capitol had complete control.

The Statue of Liberty is located in New York, which means sentences 3 and 4 relate.
Skyscrapers are everywhere in New York city. 

This means question 2 does not support the paragraphs topic sentence.
