By comparing the competitive eaters to "pigs at a trough," the author shows that they sloppily eat whatever is put in front of them, as in option C.

<h3>What does the author mean?</h3>

In "Gluttons for Punishment," the author uses the image of pigs eating off a trough to refer to the way competitive eaters consume the food placed in front of them.

When pigs eat, they do it sloppily and quickly. They also do not care about what the food is - they just eat whatever is put in front of them. Thus, by comparing the competitive eaters to those pigs, the author is conveying they too eat sloppily.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option C as the correct answer.

Which of the following identifies Andrew Solomon's main claim in the speech?
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C. It is difficult to seek treatment for depression, as it is viewed as a glorified form  of sadness rather than a serious mental illness.

Explanation:

In his speech, Andrew Solomon narrated his ordeal with depression. This disease is one suffered by many who do not really recognize its difference with sadness. They see depression as a mood which is normal for all humans, and so they do not believe that it requires treatments. They believe that it is something that can be adapted to.

Andrew Solomon sees it differently. He compared sadness to an iron with little rust which can be overcome by just painting and polishing while he compared depression to an iron which has rusted by over a hundred years and has turned to "a pile of orange dust". So, depression is a serious medical condition that needs urgent attention.
