Read these lines from the poem.
<em>And though I talked of wounds and smart, Love’s pleasures only touched my heart. </em>
How do these lines reflect the central idea that the speaker uses people in relationships?
The answer is:
(B) The lines show that the speaker only pretends to have feelings for others.
The speaker is talking about how he has enjoyed from relationships without compromise his heart pretending his feelings as we can observe from the line <em>"love's pleasures </em><em>only </em><em>touched my heart"</em> making reference he did not suffer of love. In addition, at the end he said <em>"Despise the fools that whine for love.", </em>it means that he never felt love for anyone.
So, he is just bragging his "thousand of beauties" thus reflecting the central idea that he uses people in relationships.

Answer:
For the first question - C. For the second question - A.
Explanation:
Answer:
Yes, George's mercy killing of Lennie neatly parallels the events of Chapter Three, when Candy allowed Carlson to shoot his malodorous old dog. Steinbeck is even careful to involve the same Luger in each killing. Whereas the meek and passive Candy proved unable to do the job himself, George shows no such weakness. As has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt at this point, Lennie's lethal innocence is not compatible with the world. He cannot learn to change his ways - he cannot even understand why the "bad things" he has done are bad. The fate he would meet at Curley's (mutilated) hands - likely a drawn-out, vengeful lynching - is enough to convince George that his only real option is to make Lennie's death as quick and painless as possible.
