E. All of the above
This question refers to the story "The Story of the Bad Little Boy" by Mark Twain. In this story, Twain talks about a boy who was very bad, but who never felt guilty, received a punishment or was particularly unhappy. According to Twain, this shows that the moral stories that we find in "Sunday-school books" do not reflect reality.
One of the elements in the boy's life (Jim) that did not resemble those stories was his mother. Jim's mother was not a sick and pious woman like those often found in such stories. Instead, she was tough, healthy and "stout." Moreover, she was not religious, and she did not worry about Jim in any way. Instead, she cared little for him and physically hit him, spanking him and boxing his ears.

D.The poor suffer the most in war.
The main theme from this excerpt is that the poor suffer the
most in war. This can be determined by
how within the excerpt it is mentioned that it is “the humble, those who pay
the most because they are poor” are “killed in masses” and are cannon fodder
because “they are so many.” It is further
stated that the poor are feeble and offer the least resistance in wars because
of an ignorance about the situation that led their respective nations to war.
b.subordinate clause.
A subordinate clause is essentially a sentence fragment. It can't stand by itself and make sense. That means it is dependent on an independent clause for meaning. It can be connected to that independent clause either before or after it.
Ex.
Dependent (subordinate) clause: when you get home
Independent clause: We will watch TV.
Combined: We will watch TV when you get home.
Combined: When you get home, we will watch TV.
