Respuesta :

The cartoonist expresses through his cartoon a lack of respect for Bryan's argument that farmers are businessmen (option C) and that Bryan's platform would only attract farmers (option D).

In the cartoon, candidate Bryan is seen on the platform of a train accompanied by several writers and around the train are hundreds of farmers praising him.

According to this image, the intention of the cartoonist can be inferred when publishing his cartoon. For example:

  • He drew bad-looking farmers up on power lines and fences to show an unpleasant attitude towards the audience, delegitimizing the view of farmers as entrepreneurs.
  • He drew a large number of farmers to suppress the perception that Bryan's message could be directed to other people.
