Explanation:

barely acknowledges their existence

The given question refers to “A Christmas Memory” by Truman Capote.

When it comes to his other relatives, Buddy barely acknowledged their existence.  

Option A

Explanation:

In the story, there are instances where people do not give much preference to Buddy. Moments included paying him some money for every fly he killed. Since he was also chastised, it seemed pretty obvious that he cannot live peacefully with his relatives.

There are some exceptions as one of the cousins named Sook helps Buddy by giving him some money, which implies that Buddy was close to only Sook. This story was written in 1963.

Although there are later adaptations and versions that followed it, it has faced a lot of changes in terms of plot and characters. The initial plot did not mention the names of any characters, such as Sook, which was mentioned in the later versions.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
