B. His notions about how water is poisionous to drink

C. His ideas about howbman is upright to stay put

D. His insistance that thier house is on a road

Respuesta :

The Answer is C. His ideas about how man is upright to stay put. 

The correct answer is C.

Anse's ideas about how man is upright and should stay put make him an unreliable narrator. He states that only thinks that are made sideways, like wagons, can travel, but humans are upright like trees and should stay where they are. However, he blames the road for Cash's idea to follow the life of a carpenter and inspiring Darl to move off the farm. This might lead you to think the answer is D, but simply because their house is on a road, is not the clearest reason that makes him an unreliable narrator. It is the fact that the road encourages them to travel, when they are meant to stay in the same place. Anse ultimately puts false blame on the road because it gives him bad luck, while it does the opposite for other characters in the story.
