Question

Which line from Bob Dylan's "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll," best supports the inference that Zanzinger did NOT feel any remorse for his actions?
A) "William Zanzinger killed poor Hattie Carroll"
B) "Stared at the person who killed for no reason"
C) "In a matter of minutes on bail was out walking"
D) "Reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders"

Answer 1

D because since he shrugged his shoulders its definitely showing that its water off his back and he doesn't care.

Answer 2

The correct answer is D.

The fact that Zanzinger "reacted to his deed with a shrug of his shoulders" indicates he did not feel any remorse for his actions. A shrug of the shoulders is a sign of indifference. By shrugging his shoulders, Zanzinger indicates he does not seem to care that he killed poor Hattie Carroll.
