Answer:

2. The image emphasizes that Mr. Shiftlet lives in an uncaring world.

Explanation:

Flannery O'Connor's short story "The Life You Save May Be Your Own" is part of the numerous short stories collection "A Good Man is Hard to Find". The story revolves around the character of Tom Shiflet and his acts in trying to survive the world, cheating Lucynell and her mother.

Similes are literary devices that compares words with another directly, a bit different from a metaphor (Metaphors compare things indirectly related). This simile in the sentence compares the words spoken by the old woman Lucynell to that of "<em>a group of buzzards in the top of a tree</em>". The "<em>ugly words</em>" of Mrs. Lucynell was that Shiflet was "<em>a poor disabled friendless drifting man</em>", but she also considers him capable enough to be her daughter's husband. This way of addressing him by the woman who expects him to marry her daughter shows that the world or society he lives in doesn't have much care about others, everyone for themselves.

To improve the relationship between ideas, the writer
AlladinOne [14]

Answer: Well, To improve the relationship between the ideas expounded by Bernie Sanders, the writer must: option B, add "However" to the beginning of sentence 2, in this case, the paragraph would be as follows: Bernie Sanders argues that no one should have to pay the tuition to go to university. However, this will only increase the tax burden on the middle classes.In this order of ideas, it is inferred from the text that the author considers that nobody should pay tuition to go to university, but he knows that if this is approved, the tax burden on the middle classes would be increased. Most people know that the tax burden is the taxes that the government charges especially to the middle and upper classes to settle or balance the investments that the government itself makes in favour of the people such as the subsidy for study or housing.
