Joe stopped the stranger from doing anything harmful.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

I didn't find any information about the play "Joe Magarac and the Hunkietown Contest". I only read the summary of the short story.

But my guess is that C)Steve gives his blessing so Pete and Mary can be married. is the best answer.

Even though Joe won the contest, he did not like to marry Mary. Instead he volunteered Pete to marry Mary because he came second to Joe. Steve has to give his blessing because Mary is his daughter and the main purpose of having the contest is to find a husband for Mary.
