A motif that could be found in the part of the story is sight and blindness. They are connected to Oedipus clear sight and quick wit.

In the sentence "These days, parents neglect to watch their children's social media use", we find an example of the hasty generalization fallacy.
Hasty generalization does not present enough evidence to support the argument made and, therefore, generalizes a fact. In the sentence above, there is an affirmation that parents do not watch their children's social media use. How can the speaker state this? Who are these parents: all of them? Just a percentage? What about the parents who do watch their kids' use of social media? Do they not count?
As for the other options given, let's take a look at a brief description of what they mean:
Non sequitur is when a conclusion does not follow the evidence presented. It's an absurd conclusion, considering the information given. --> People like watching movies. Movies have violence. Therefore, having some violence happen to people is desirable.
Post hoc is a fallacy in which the speaker assumes there is a connection between events simply because they happened one after the other. That is, if B happened after A, then B happened because of A. --> If it rained after I had an ice cream, then it rained because I had the ice cream.
False analogy happens when the speaker analyzes two different facts under the same point of view and conditions, drawing a conclusion that is far-fetched. --> Monica is from South America. Alice is also from South America. Therefore, Monica and Alice are from the same country.
The correct answer for this question is this one:
"In a persuasive essay, the writer tries to convince the reader to agree with the point of view presented, while in an expository essay, the writer narrates a story using a plot, characters, and a setting."<span>

In her book, 'A good man is hard to find', Flannery O'Connor works with different linguistic tools to give the story a sense of dark humor. One of these tools, being the use of irony.
The first appearance of this technique is at the beginning of the book, when O'Connor explains the reason behind her grandmother getting dressed for a car ride. "In case of an accident, anyone seeing the dead on the highway would know at once that she was a lady."
The writer then keeps on building the story line around the judgment that the grandmother holds up to everyone she meets. After the car crash and the Misfit makes his appearance, O'Connor writes: ""Listen," the grandmother almost screamed, "I know you are a good man, you dont look a bit like you have common blood. I know you must come from nice people!.""
The irony in this is that the grandmother believes that she can properly asses people based on how they look or act, at first encounter, when in reality the Misfit is a sociopath that is measuring all of his actions to get what he desires.
