Question

Hey, I'm extremely confused on this whole test: 13.02 Semester Test: American Literature Semester B - Part 1. I haven't been able to find any help, and I don't want a bad grade as it's the final test. Can anyone help me with the test? This is one of the questions I have from the test. I need help TODAY because it's my last day. Please help, thank you

Answer 1

Answer:

C) "But when I think of his patience under adversity, of his courage under fire, and of his modesty in victory, I am filled with an emotion of admiration I cannot put into words."

D) "I listen then, but with thirsty ear, for the witching melody of faint bugles blowing reveille, of far drums beating the long roll. In my dreams I hear again the crash of guns, the rattle of musketry, the strange, mournful mutter of the battlefield."

Explanation:

The first quote shows that the war has left an emotional scar on Douglas, while the second quote shows that he often thinks about it.

Answer 2

Answer:

B, D

Explanation:

Answer B appears reasonable in that it conveys the fact that his once optimistic outlook on life is now bleak due to his shifted perspective from the war.

D. We can infer that MacArthur now suffers from ptsd, which is a direct result of the war's impact.

I also thought it was C as well, but I'm leaning strongly toward B

Good luck!
