question 8 of 10
which aspect of anses narration from as i lay dying most clearly makes him an unreliable narrator?

a. his insistence that their house is on a road
b. his resistance to the idea that addie is sick
c. his belief that his son cash is a carpenter
d. his ideas about how water is really poison

Explanation:

In "As I Lay Dying", Anse's resistance to acknowledging Addie's sickness goes against reality (since she is ill and dying). An unreliable narrator often has a distorted or untruthful view of events. His denial of her sickness shows his narration is not a reliable reflection of what's actually happening, unlike the other options (A: house on road may be factual, C: Cash being a carpenter is true, D: water as poison is an odd belief but not as directly undermining narrative reliability as denying obvious illness).

Answer:

B. His resistance to the idea that Addie is sick
