Answer 1

In the first paragraph, citizens parade to support the armed forces, showing loyalty and compassion for fellow citizens, as shown in option A.

Why did citizens have this attitude?

• Because they wanted to show support.
• Because they wanted to show patriotism.
• Because they wanted to show how important soldiers were.
