The daughter could not see far in front of her and continued to play with her fingers. although the old woman lived in this desolate spot with only her daughter and she had never seen mr. shiftlet before, she could tell, even from a distance, that he was a tramp and no one to be afraid of. his left coat sleeve was folded up to show there was only half an arm in it and his gaunt figure listed slightly to the side as if the breeze were pushing him. the characters in the excerpt are an example of the inexplicably violent. religious fundamentalists. the racially intolerant. people with disabilities.

The correct answer is option D) people with disabilities.

The text describes a daughter, an old woman and Mr Shiflet. According to the description, it shows that Mr Shiflet is disabled, not dangerous or violent.

The rest of the options are incorrect since no sign of violence, religious fundementalism or racism is seen throughout the descriptions of the characters.

the answer should be d) he was one of those young thousands who greeted the war with a certain amount of relief, welcoming the liberation from webs of tangled emotion" since it is the best option because it shows his desire to free himself. 

hope this answer you! have a great day.
