Answer:
This story may well be one of O'Connor's most humorous stories. Even though the story as it now stands appears to focus on the attempts of two equally unscrupulous characters to gain an advantage over the other, O'Connor, through the use of color imagery and somewhat obvious symbolism, manages to make the story more than merely a humorous tale. Yet it is the humor, ultimately, which first catches the attention of most readers.
Some of O'Connor's humor is similar, at least in part, to the tradition of such Old Southwest humorists (1835-1860) as Johnson J. Hooper and George W. Harris. Hooper's Simon Suggs and Harris' Sut Lovingood are both similar to O'Connor's Shiftlet. This is especially true in Shiftlet's "swapping session" scenes with Mrs. Crater. These swapping session scenes are also reminiscent of the Armsted-Snopes exchanges in the fiction of William Faulkner. Each of the major characters in O'Connor's story is aware that he, or she, has something that someone else craves, which slowly increases the apparent value of the offer until the final bargain is struck.

Jacob must make a decision that will have a huge impact on his life. This conflict is man v. self.
Answer:
Demonstrative
Explanation:
<em>Those </em>is a word for a demonstrative pronoun.
Demonstrative pronouns are those that are identifying and pointing out something. They can point out a person, a place, a moment, and can be singular or plural.
However,<u> in this specific sentence, there is no pronoun, but those is used as a demonstrative adjective. </u>
The words for demonstrative adjectives and pronouns are the same (<em>this, these, that, those</em>), but the difference is that the pronouns stand-alone, <u>adjectives stand with the noun and modify it.</u> The only difference is in the structure of the sentence.
<em>Those </em>stands with the word <em>scouts </em>and modifies it, showing us which scouts do we talk about. <u>That is how we know it is the case of the adjective and not the pronoun. </u>
