I hate to be that one person, but what are we supposed to do?
World War I, the war that was originally expected to be “over by Christmas,” dragged on for four years with a grim brutality brought on by the dawn of trench warfare and advanced weapons, including chemical weapons. The horrors of that conflict altered the world for decades – and writers reflected that shifted outlook in their work. As Virginia Woolf would later write, “Then suddenly, like a chasm in a smooth road, the war came.”
Early works were romantic sonnets of war and death.
Among the first to document the “chasm” of the war were soldiers themselves. At first, idealism persisted as leaders glorified young soldiers marching off for the good of the country.
English poet Rupert Brooke, after enlisting in Britain’s Royal Navy, wrote a series of patriotic sonnets, including “The Soldier,” which read:
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.
Brooke, after being deployed in the Allied invasion of Gallipoli, would die of blood poisoning in 1915.

D. Prewriting and drafting, seems the most correct
You should place commas around a phrase the at adds additional information to the sentence, but which is not necessary.
1)<span>Tanna president of the National Honor Society truly enjoys volunteer work.
this part is not necessary, so commas are required before and after it
2) The old house, that my father grew up in, is being completely renovated.
here the commas are unnecessary! that's because we need the information in boldface to identify the house
4) </span><span><span>My sister, who is a waitress at Billy’s Big Burger Shack, is sixteen years old.</span>
this is a correctly punctuated sentence - the information about being a waitress is additional.
5) The bird that built a nest in the oak tree, appears to have an injured wing.
here either the commas should be removed, or another comma added after "bird"
</span>
Answer:
1. I have my car fixed.
- This is not the correct way to write this. It would make sense if it was "I am going to have my car fixed." However, the word "have" is present tense. That means you are currently having your car being fixed.
2. I had my car fixed.
- This is the correct way to write this. The word "had" is past tense. That means you already fixed your car.
Explanation:
Remember that "have" is a helping verb, and "had" is the past participle. "Have" is a present form while "had" is the past form.
