Answer:

C. Character.

Explanation:

The short story of "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty tells the story of a Republican sniper in a war of bullets against an enemy sniper who later turns out to be his own brother.

The excerpt in the question is from the initial paragraph of the story which gives a detailed description of the Republican sniper, our protagonist. The details such as "<em>the face of a student, thin and ascetic, but his eyes had the cold gleam of the fanatic</em>" or "<em>eyes of a man who is used to looking at death</em>" gave the shape of the character. We also know about his profession with the inclusion of the detail "<em>rifle and over his shoulders was slung a pair of field glasses</em>". All these details of the second paragraph of the short story gave us the character of the sniper.

lyudmila [28]

The correct answer is <u>B: Most people are honest enough not to commit major theft.</u> The reason why is because one i did th test but the explanation behind it is that he says in the excerpt that "From Feldman’s perspective, an office worker who eats a bagel without paying is committing a crime; the office worker probably doesn’t think so." in context hes saying that most people are honest and will say they took something small like a bagel, but at the same time they wouldn't think of a bank robbery or something.

That's how I see it, I hope i helped have a great day and good luck with class.

Answer:

George Orwell wrote an allegory of the Russian Revolution, and used the character of Old Major to explore the philosophy of Karl Marx. Old Major states many of Marx’s ideas, such as a belief in equality and in the elimination of class divisions. Both Old Major and Marx also advocate for rebellion to end the oppression of workers. Marx says that the means of production should be held in common. Similarly, Old Major believes that the animals could run the farm together. The main difference between them is that Marx writes about people, while Major speaks about animals. Both call for a more just society.
