Answer 1

Cash's thoughts are organized, but Anse's are not (Apex)

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. "Cash's thoughts are organized, but Anse's are not".

Explanation:

According to Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying: The Corrected Text", Anse is Addie's lazy husband, who she married only because he was available at the moment.  Anse was very lazy and convinced other people that he would die if he sweat or make any major effort. On the other hand, Cash was a very hardworking man who didn't stop even when he lost his leg. Cash's thoughts were organized, seeing even Addie's death as an opportunity to praise his carpentry skills.
