question 6 of 10
what is a major difference between the personalities of cash and anse,
according to the way faulkner writes about each character?

a. cashs outlook on life is dark, but anse is satisfied.

b. cashs thoughts are organized, but anses are not.

c. cash is impetuous, but anse is careful.

d. cash is an outgoing, happy guy, but anse is not.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on Faulkner's portrayal of Cash and Anse in As I Lay Dying:

• Option A: Cash is practical and logical, not dark; Anse is self - centered and not satisfied. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Cash, a carpenter, has organized, methodical thoughts (e.g., his detailed reasoning about the coffin). Anse’s thoughts are disjointed and self - serving. This matches their characterizations.
• Option C: Cash is careful and methodical, Anse is lazy and impulsive (in his own self - serving way). The description here is reversed. Eliminate C.
• Option D: Cash is serious and focused, not outgoing and happy. Anse is more self - centered and complaining. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. Cash's thoughts are organized, but Anse's are not.
