Transcript text: In As I Lay Dying, what is Anse most preoccupied with?
A. The farm they work on
B. The cottonhouse
C. The road they live on
D. The doctor
Solution
Answer
The answer is C. The road they live on
Explanation
Option A: The farm they work on
While the farm is an important aspect of the Bundren family's life, it is not Anse's primary preoccupation in "As I Lay Dying."
Option B: The cottonhouse
The cottonhouse is not a central concern for Anse in the novel.
Option C: The road they live on
Anse is most preoccupied with the road because it symbolizes his desire to fulfill Addie's dying wish to be buried in Jefferson. The road represents the journey and the obstacles the family faces in achieving this goal.
Option D: The doctor
The doctor is not Anse's main concern; his focus is more on the journey to Jefferson and the road they must travel.
