Answer 1

Scythes, like Scythe Faraday, are treated with respect and honor in public, which is the correct answer to the student's question.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the description of how shoppers treated Scythe Faraday at the grocery store, we learn that Scythes are treated with a complex mix of reverence and unease in public. In Neal Shusterman's book, Scythes are the only ones who can end life in a world where death has been otherwise conquered; thus, they are both honored and feared. The correct answer to the question of how Scythes get treated in public places is A) Scythes are respected and honored in public. People show deference and give them space, often leaving an area when a Scythe enters to avoid being near them, which is an implicit form of respect even if it is rooted in fear.
