and Ray Bradbury short story, a sound of thunder, which of Mr. Eckles character traits leads to derives the consequences for the rest of the world

His lack of curiosity

His carelessness

Fearlessness

His greed

Based on the short story "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury, it can be argued that Mr. Eckles' character trait of his carelessness leads to the derived consequences for the rest of the world.

In the story, Mr. Eckles is a hunter who pays to travel back in time and hunt dinosaurs. He is explicitly warned not to step off the designated path as it could alter the future, but due to his carelessness, he accidentally steps on a butterfly, causing significant changes in the world upon his return. This seemingly insignificant action results in a chain reaction that alters the course of evolution, changes language, impacts the political landscape, and disrupts society as a whole.

While Mr. Eckles displays other negative character traits, such as lack of curiosity and greed, it is his carelessness in disregarding the instructions given that directly leads to the severe consequences for the rest of the world.
