Question

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

------------
Iron and steel do not tangle like thread, cord, or rope. Perhaps chain tangles like logs, and words like jam or snag would be better to describe what happens when links twist out of line and chains of different gauge twine like tresses. Wood has water to propel them part of their way. Professional handlers have winches and pulleys and special vehicles to transport piles like the one the man now dragged up the slightly inclining driveway.

A. Fredo’s unhinged psychological state
B. Fredo’s fierce anger toward the world
C. Fredo’s urgent need to finish his project
D. Fredo’s fear of the neighborhood bullies

Answer 1

fredos fear of the neighborhood bullies

Answer 2

The correct answer is option A. "Fredo’s unhinged psychological state".

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack Agüeros's "'Agua Viva,' a Sculpture by Alfred Gonzalez" tells the story of Filthy Fredo, an hermit that loses his mind and starts collecting scrap metal and hasn't shaved or showered in five years. This excerpt shows Fredo’s unhinged psychological state by the way he compares iron and steel with chains and words. Filthy Fredo starts to have incoherent thoughts and this excerpt is an example of this.
