The Civil War was fought in 1861, so the answer would be D: 1800.
Answer:
the animals will live happily ever after on the farm
Explanation:
the passage describes the farm like a fantasy
The men are filled with joy as the bombs fall around them because they want the Germans to be defeated. Wiesel mentions how they've heard the Germans were losing some battles, but this was the first time they had proof. This shows that they "no longer fear death". They have been living with so much death that it is a regular occurrence. Also, a death that is caused as a result of Germany's defeat is better than a death at the hands of the Germans.
To be reticent is to not reveal one's thoughts readily. In this case, it is the reticence of the author. The author does not reveal their thoughts readily. If the narrator or author refuses to do something, it is made known that he is doing something. The something here is him refusing. If he acts as if the situation is normal, I'd assume he is acting in such a way that would be nonreactionary of the actions from the provoker. I would safely choose the last option as sorrentino's exercising of authorial reticence.
