Which three parts of this excerpt from "Editha" by William Dean Howells denote the meaninglessness of war? (The options are pare

nthesized, must pick three)
"No, girls don't; women don't, when they give their men up to their country. (They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went,) or if it's an empty sleeve, or even an empty pantaloon, it's all the more glory, and they're so much the prouder of them, poor things!"
The tears began to run down Editha's face; she had not wept till then; but it was now such a relief to be understood that the tears came
"No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated, in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "(You just expected him to kill someone else,)(some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches)-conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. (You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of.") The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! (I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!") She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

In <em>Cry, the Beloved Country</em> written Alan Paton tells us about a family Kumalo that represents an average black family from South Africa. Their village Ndotsheni is poor and has not so developed agricultural side, so most of the people go to Johannesburg in order to find a job and earn for a living. Several members of the Kumalo family moved to the city and all of them took the morally wrong path living an indecent life.  

<em>In contrast to filthy  Ndotsheni where black people live and struggle with poverty, there is High Place up on the hill - a beautiful farm that belongs to a wealthy white man Jarvis where his family lives peacefully and like in a paradise</em>. So, two completely different worlds coexist one beside another and their paths finally directly cross at the end of the novel where Jarvis sends milk to children living in Ndotsheni, though characters of the story meet a lot earlier.

How does the relationship between tone and diction differ from the relationship between mood and diction?
Aneli [31]

The correct answer is D. Tone is determined by diction, while mood is affected by many things

Explanation:

In literature, the tone refers to the way the author addresses issues or the feelings and attitudes he or she expresses about the main subject matter, because of this, the tone can be mainly identified through the diction that is the words the author choose to express different elements in a literary piece. As a result, tone relies mainly on diction.

On the other hand, the mood refers to the atmosphere the author creates in a literary work and the feeling or emotions this atmosphere causes in the readers. As tone, mood is also influenced by the choice of words or diction, but there are also other elements that contribute to the mood including the setting as a story with a sad or scary mood  takes place in a different setting that one with a cheerful mood; the use of description that provide vivid details to explain the atmosphere; the tone of the author and the use of pauses and similar devices to create rhythm. Consequently, it can be concluded that while the tone is determined by diction, the mood is affected by many things and not only diction.
