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.")

She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha.

Is binge watching a harmless pleasure or a harmful addiction?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

It depends.

Explanation:

Usually, binge watching would not be considered to be harmful.  However, to put such an activity in perspective, you should consider how it affects your daily life.  An addiction to something would cause physical, mental, and/or emotional pain during separation and disturbs normal, daily life.  Is binge watching causing that type of pain and interruption to your daily life?  You have to decide for yourself how far and how seriously you view binge watching, and decide from there.

Serjik [45]
