What is the Reward in the final example?

• A. Simba is exiled again.
• B. Simba climbs Pride Rock, his role as king restored.
• C. Simba becomes a hunter and leaves the Pride Lands.
• D. Simba's friends abandon him.

Answer: (B)

The Reward is the moment the hero gains what they’ve been fighting for and the world begins to benefit from that victory. In the final Lion King scenario, Simba’s reward is reclaiming his rightful place as king and restore order to the Pride Lands. Climbing Pride Rock symbolizes him accepting that leadership role and bringing back balance, which is the payoff after his ordeal. The other options describe exile, ongoing struggle, or abandonment rather than the positive boon the hero earns.
