Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the idea that war affects not only the minds of the combatants but also their physical

reactions? Ambush by Tim O'Brien (excerpt) There was no sound at all--none that I can remember. In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. I had already pulled the pin on a grenade. I had come up to a crouch. It was entirely automatic. I did not hate the young man; I did not see him as the enemy; I did not ponder issues of morality or politics or military duty. I crouched and kept my head low. I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. I was terrified. There were no thoughts about killing. The grenade was to make him go away--just evaporate--and I leaned back and felt my mind go empty and then felt it fill up again. Symptoms by John Steinbeck (excerpt) They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these men had no such consideration in any other field. Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember. In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. Fear and ferocity are products of the same fluid. NextReset © 2018 Edmentum. All rights reserved.

In O'Brien's excerpt those sentences are: <span>In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach. This sentence evokes a bodily reaction and calls it "the reality". It is not just imagined; it really happens. </span><span>I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour. It's as if his body has its own way of processing the distressing information. He feels a very specific kind of nausea, triggered by his mental processes.

In Steinbeck's excerpt it's these sentences: </span><span>In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it. They describe a very physical reaction, which is a product of emotional distress. It's as if the body is trying to defend the whole system from detrimental factors.</span>

How do the words describing nature in lines 12-14 contribute to the tone of the passage?
madam [21]

Answer: Lines 12-14 contribute to the tone of joy and happiness.

Explanation:

In "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud", William Wordsworth recalls his experience of seeing a field of daffodils on a beautiful day.

In lines 12–14, the poet describes how the flowers swayed to the breeze while "tossing their heads." He claims that the sea beside them also "danced", but that daffodils were more delightful.

These lines contribute to the overall tone of the poem - that of happiness and joy. The image in front of him inspired the poet, and stimulated his imagination.

Lyrx [107]

Answer: How would I describe this year? 2020-2021 is like looking both ways before you cross the street then getting hit by an airplane. How accurate?

Now 2020-2021 has changed our habitats of not changing out of our pj’s or staying in our sweatpants all afternoon. Which doesn’t sound so bad.

But it also caused a lot of pain and suffering to many people and families. Which will never forget.

We’ve all had our breakdowns from this year, and I know I have. From being bored to death to being overwhelmed with homework, we still got through.

I’ve literally had to move two times during this year, now being three by the end of this month. I know I’m shocked too but all trying to say is this year hast benn hard for most of us

Which sources from the bibliography would be most helpful to you if you were
givi [52]

Answer:

When you write a paper or a book, it's important to include a bibliography. A bibliography tells your reader what sources you've used. It lists all the books, articles, and other references you cited in or used to inform your work. Bibliographies are typically formatted according to one of three styles: American Psychological Association (APA) for scientific papers, Modern Language Association (MLA) for humanities papers, and Chicago Manual of Style (CMS) for the social sciences. Make sure you always check with your superior - whether a professor or boss - about which style they prefer.
