This statement is true.
When working out, you should always<em> rise and lower weights with slow and controlled motions.</em> It is to maximize the benefits of lifting and to prevent injury.
<em>As for the benefits:</em> Slow lifts can build muscles much faster than regular or fast ones. Rising or lowering the lifts in a slow motion forces the muscles to hold the weight longer. The particular muscle involved in the move stays activated longer. If one goes fast on lifting for example, momentum will do a lot of work which shortens the activity of the muscles. And the more a muscles works/is activated, the bigger it grows and the more it shows on the body. The goal is to fatigue the muscles before they fail. Muscle fatigue is a very good sign in building a muscle mass as the damaged muscles instigate greater growth. Finally, lifting/lowering slowly activates the skeletal muscles, they use a lot of energy and one burns more calories while using them.
Fewer accidents happen with slow lifting/lowering as one focuses on correct form and proper execution of each move; fast, uncontrolled moves can cause many injuries.

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.
Smilies compares things using “like” or “as” while Metaphors compare things without using “like” or “as”.
