Assuming there are only eleven people left on Earth and four must be chosen based on their potential in rebuilding the society by contributing their different skills and knowledge, these four people should survive: Father Frans, Mr. Newton, Mrs. Clark, and Dr. Dane.
The first person chosen to survive is Father Frans. Since he has a farming background, Father Frans has the ability to produce food for the people. Some people might argue that Father Frans should not be chosen because he is a Catholic priest, and he would not procreate to rebuild the society. It is reasonable. In fact, every Catholic priest has to make a vow to celibacy. However, people need food to survive, if no one provides food, there would be no chance for reproduction.

The third person chosen to survive is Mrs. Clark. She is an electronics engineer which she can contribute to the society by improving its technology. Some might argue that Mrs. Clark should not be chosen since she is a member of Zero Population Growth, which she would not be willing to give more than two births. This is understandable that the chosen one should carry on the task...
