The family system theory which mainly focuses on emotions has received criticism for lack of empirical data to back its approach.Another factor has to do with the unwavering neutrality of the practitioner. Nevertheless, more and more data to back up its application has been piling up.
Answer:
C) Mr. Baumer would still try to get back at Slade.
Explanation:
In the short story "Bargain" written by A.B. Guthrie, Jr, the plot revolves especially around the enmity o a shopkeeper Mr. Baumer and a drunk penny cheater Slade. The story tells of how Slade gets his due after all the trouble he had caused Mr. Baumer.
Slade had been acquiring unpaid bills for the goods he took from Mr. Baumer's shop. And he had no intention of paying for them. Every time he was approached with the bill, he'd torture and beat the tiny shopkeeper. One instant shows him beaten so badly that he had to give up the use of his arm for a long time, even hiring a new helper for the shop.
The fight scene where Al, the helper of the store, talks about is where Mr. Baumer had been badly beaten up. Al reveals that even after the heavy beating Mr. Baumer had just got, he did not seem to give up on the idea of making Slade pay for whatever he had owed, if not in cash, but kind. This statement of Al that Baumer <em>"didn’t look beaten even"</em> reveals that he will still try to get back at him.
