Answer:
<em><u>In the poem Childhood, the poet ponders deeply over the question of his lost childhood. ... He feels a sense of nostalgia for the lost childhood and finally settles down with an idea that his childhood has gone to some forgotten place and that place could only be found in an infant's innocent face</u></em>
The best answer for this question would be:
The author’s wordings in the excerpt describe how his
experience was during the Vietnam war, he was young but was afraid to face
reality that his fellow comrades were dying in front of him. He describes how
in stories people can be able to twist what had happened to them, on the other
hand you could honestly tell them the true events that had happened.
Since <em>distant:intimate </em>are words that have opposite meanings, you need to find another pair of words with the same quality.
The correct answer is morose:joyous, because those two words mean different things.
