Answer: Readers might become more sympathetic to the effects of war.
"An Episode of War" by Stephen Crane tells the story of a lieutenant who is wounded during the war. However, its intention is to make the reader more sympathetic to the effects of war. The story shows that the lieutenant is respected and admired by everyone when healthy, but despised and pitied when he is wounded and cannot longer fight. The story highlights how people tend to glorify the war and ignore the negative effects it leaves on the people who fight in them.

Answer:
A. The quantities of dissolved salts deposited by rivers in the Earth's oceans have not been unusually large during the past hundred years.
Explanation:
In the above given passage, the salty nature of the seas/ oceans are due to the <em>"dissolved salts" </em>carried into them by the rivers. Now, considering the level of salt in the oceans to be zero in the start, then the rivers' gradual deposits make up the salty nature. And this will take hundreds of years to make a whole ocean salty. So, if we think about the salt level of the current oceans and the process it takes, hypothetically, then we can safely assume that the quantities of dissolved salts deposited by the rivers are not that large during the past hundred years. For, if the deposits were in large quantities, the oceans' salt levels will have skyrocketed by now.
Thus, the correct assumption the argument depends on is option A.
Option B is irrelevant, option C too. If salts have leached into the oceans directly, then that would have also happened hundreds of years ago. Option D is also again irrelevant for the passage never mentioned the superiority of the method in estimating the salt levels. Option E is considerable but void in the part of the salts being used for biological activities.
