Answer and Explanation:

Even though your question does not mention the book or story which it concerns, we may assume it is about the short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver, since the three characters in the story are the narrator, his wife, and her blind friend.

The narrator's initial feelings toward the blind man, Robert, are permeated with prejudice. He sees himself as superior simply because he can "see". He thinks of Robert as an incomplete man, a man who cannot be happy nor make a woman happy. He treats Robert as if his presence were an nuisance, as if a blind man were the worst company one could have. He also thinks it is an absurd for Robert to have a full beard and not wear dark sunglasses, just like a normal non-blind person.

We can quickly tell the one who truly has an impairment is the narrator himself. He certainly can see with his eyes; he is not physically blind. But he cannot go beyond that. He does not truly "see". Robert knows the narrator's wife much better than the narrator does. Robert sees more, because he listens, because he learns, because he is willing to not judge. The narrator's relationship with other people and even himself is one of appearances, shallow and judgmental.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The correct answer is B. Parody.

Explanation:

A parody is a vulgar, exaggerated, or comic imitation of another work known to the public, through which the original work is ridiculed, even by small references to it. Broadly speaking, a parody is a sub-form of a satire: the story (the text or the image) is imitated in an ironic way. This can happen in a harmless as well as a corrosive way. The success of the parody will be greater the more famous the original and the parodied (magnified) elements are therefore more recognizable.

PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A?
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

"The Selective Laziness Of Human Reasoning" is an article written by Tania Lombrozo. The aticle talks about how people tend to focus on the flaws of others argument than evaluating their own arguments. To prove this thesis, a research was conducted by the researchers in which the choice blindness concept was adopted. The choices that were made by the participants were swaped and mostly people failed to recognize the swap and presented their argument over the choice that they did not make previously.

<u>The correct option to support the claim of the main idea of the text is C. When the choices made by participants were swapped and not recognized by them, they produced the argument over the choice that they did not make and were critical about the arguments they produced when they were coming from others</u>.

So, the correct answer is option C.
