A) he was feeding it with twigs the size of his finger

B) those old timers were rather womenish, some of them, he thought

C) any man who was a man could travel alone

D) lifeless they were, for he could scarcely make them move together to grip a twig, and they seemed remote from his body and from him

By reading these sentences, it is shown that he believes that he is a true man and totally believes in his abilities. He is rather very proud of the abilities that he has. It is a clear proof that he is very confident of himself and he is rather not ignorant of the things that surround him. He is not ignorant of his surroundings.

rodikova [14]

The question is incomplete because it does not provide any options, which are the following:

A. She likes fish, so I think she will like sushi.

B. If you like strawberries, you will like burritos.

C. He likes to read, so I'm sure he will enjoy the library.

D. If you like steak and potatoes, you will like this stew.

Answer:

B. If you like strawberries, you will like burritos.

Explanation:

Non sequitur refers to a stated conclusion that is not  necessarily a logical result  of the facts presented. In the answer, the fact that all the houses in the area are expensive does not necessarily imply that they are well-built.

Other examples of non sequitur are:

<em>I've lived in this town for a long time and my grandfather was the first mayor, so I'm against putting fluoride in the drinking water!</em>

<em />

<em>Matt likes cooking, which involves food, so he should work at a grocery store.</em>
