How would you explain the reluctance of the soldiers to leave the shelter of the doctors house even when he knew he couldn't sta
Tasya [4]

Hello. You forgot to say that this question is related to "The Enemy".

Answer:

Because the shelter at the doctor's house gave the soldier comfort and compassion, which he would not find if he returned to combat.

Explanation:

When the soldier arrived at the doctor's house, he was highly injured, weak, tired and very traumatized by all the horrors he witnessed in the war and by all the abuses he suffered at the hand of the enemy army. However, the doctor's family took care of his injuries, showed him compassion and friendship, gave him comfort and security. The soldier did not want to lose those good feelings that the doctor's house allowed him to feel and he knew that if he left the house, he would have to return to the horrors of the fight and for that reason, he was reluctant to leave the doctor's house, even putting all the family in danger.

amm1812

Answer:

C. Before the Civil War.

Explanation:

Based on the root word of the affix <u>"ante-"</u>, it is easy to say that any word that comes with this word will mean <u>"before"</u> or preceding it. Likewise, the root word <u>"belli" means "war" or "fighting"</u>. Therefore, if these two words are put together, then the new word is likely to refer to the period before a war.

Now, the word<em><u> "Antebellum" is a period in American history that is usually used by the Southern states to refer to the period or time before the Civil War</u></em>. Therefore, the <u>correct answer is option C.</u>
