Question

A distaste for everything that had happened to him in the war set in because of the lies he had told. All of the times that had been able to make him feel cool and clear inside himself when he thought of them; the times so long back when he had done the one thing, the only thing for a man to do, easily and naturally, when he might have done something else, now lost their cool, valuable quality and then were lost themselves. What does the excerpt reveal about Krebs? He fought valiantly while at war overseas. He is happy to be home with his friends and family again. He is dissatisfied and feels disillusioned with his surroundings. He is a skilled liar, even though he does not enjoy telling untruths.

Answer 1

C. He is dissatisfied and feels disillusioned with his surroundings.

Answer 2

Answer:

He is dissatisfied and feels disillusioned with his surroundings.

Explanation:

This passage conveys the idea that Krebs is dissatisfied and disillusioned with his surroundings. In this text, we learn that Krebs told lies, and that these lies created a distaste in him for everything that had happened to him. Added to this distaste, Krebs felt like his past lost "its cool" and that everything he had ever had that had been of quality was now lost. All of this indicates a high level of unhappiness and disillusionment.
