Question

Adapted from "On a Certain Blindness in Human Beings" (1900) by William James

Answer 1

Answer:

The fence follows a set, if aesthetically unappealing pattern, while the corn is planted randomly, with no pattern at all.

Explanation:

This is the statement that best describes the way in which both the fence and the corn were set up. In this passage, we learn that the "squatters" lived in conditions that appeared horrible to the speaker, particularly due to the destruction of the beautiful environment. Both the fence and the corn are describes as aesthetically unappealing (ugly). However, the fence is described as being placed in a zigzag pattern, while the corn is "irregularly planted."
