The correct answer is A) Mr. Shiflet has just deceived an old woman for personal gain and yet he does not think he’s part of the “rottenness of the world”.

<em>The option that best describes the irony of the excerpt is “Mr. Shiflet has just deceived an old woman for personal gain and yet he does not think he’s part of the “rotteness of the world”. </em>

Lucynell is deaf and mute, and her mother give Mr. Shiflet money to marry Lucynell. Mr. Shiftlet accepts the money and marries her. They go to their honeymoon and abandon Lucy and then it comes to his mind that “he felt that the rottenness of the world was about to engulf him. He raised his arm and let it fall again to his breast. He prayed: ‘Oh Lord! Break forth and wash the smile from this Earth.”

We are referring to the short story “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” written by Flannery O’Connor that can be found in the book “A Good Man is Hard to Find” (1955).

How is a root word used to understand a text? It reveals the style of the writer. It alerts the reader that a technical term is
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

It provides the foundation for a word’s meaning.

Explanation:

Let's say, for example, you encountered the word "unhappiness" within a reading text. And, let's say that you had no idea whatsoever what the affixes -un and -ness meant. You would at the very least be able to recognize (a form of) the word 'happy' as the root of the larger word and know that the word had something to do with the concept of "happy."
