Solution and Explanation
The servants left Dr. Sadao’s house because they feared the consequences of sheltering an enemy, an American prisoner of war. Though they were loyal to him, they did not want to be associated with what they considered an act of treason. Their fear of punishment outweighed their personal concern, revealing the powerful grip of social and political pressures.
