A. The Red Scare

Communists were associated with the color red because of the red flag of the Soviet Union -- thus the "Red Scare." One manifestation of the Red Scare was how people's privacy was invaded. Accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people.  Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance.  But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that.  Those who aimed to protect the rights and liberties of each individual saw the Red Scare tactics as "witch hunts," where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.

Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the Red Scare (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.

Red Scare was the name given to the widespread fear of suspected Communists and radicals in the United States after World War I. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A". The first Red Scare happened in the United States during the 20th century and the reason was hyper nationalism in respect to World War I.

monitta

The author is trying to establish the point that the food provided to the soldiers was of poor quality and in little quantity.

<h3>How can we identify this?</h3>
  • The author shows how the food provided to the soldiers was compared to fodder, that is, food inappropriate for humans.
  • The author shows how this food could be compared with the feeding of pigs, which highlights the poor quality of the food.
  • The author reinforces how inappropriate food was consumed anyway, as it was all the soldiers had.

In the text, the author wants to draw attention to how the soldiers were neglected and fed in a precarious, unhealthy, and insufficient way, not being possible to compare it with food for humans.

This kind of food left the soldiers hungry and weak, preventing them from being able to fulfill their responsibilities as required.

In this case, the author satirizes food, trying to call attention to a change and showing the dissatisfaction of those who need to eat this way.
