It is estimated that at least 16,000~20,000 Filipino soldiers were killed, with up to an extra 200,000 civilian deaths, mostly from a cholera epidemic. But R.J Rummel asserts that 128,000 Filipinos were murdered by the U.S. While, Filipino historian E. San Juan, Jr. contends that 1.4 million Filipinos died during the war and that creates an act of genocide on the part of the United States. Sources cite a figure of 200,000 to 250,000 total Filipino civilians dead with most losses attributable to disease. The United States Department of State says that the war "resulted in the death of over 4,200 American and over 20,000 Filipino soldiers", and that "as many as 200,000 Filipino civilians pass away from violence, famine, and disease".

Answer:

Explanation:

I looked it up to see what kind of a book it was and I read only the publisher's blub.

A: not a choice. I think you have to put it in the context of the 1870s or 80s. The author is little beyond that time. If it were me, I'd pick the falling in love answer. I like modern women's literature, not because it plays on the heartstrings (which it does) but because it presents women's grief and dilemma pretty honestly. But I think the 1870s especially dealing with a minority's grief would not chose this as a topic -- certainly not a serious one. So much as I would choose A, I doubt the novel would.

B: I don't think I'd choose B either. Victoriano sounds like an honorable man to me. He sympathizes with Clarence's problem and offers him a reasonable assurance that the women would not be present. From what we can gather, that turns out to be true. Clarence does not seem to have met anyone.

C: Trite though the detail is, it should happen.

D: I do not see Victoriano as the bad guy. I don't sense betrayal in him. I think I'll choose D as well.

E. I thought this already happened.
