Answer:

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>A. "The story of Yossarian, a World War II bombardier ..."</u>.

Explanation:

The novel takes place during World War II, from 1942 to 1944, and primarily follows the life of Captain John Yossarian, a bomber in a B-25 Mitchell of the United States Army Air Forces. Most of the events in the book take place as the fictional 256th squad settles on the island of Pianosa in the Mediterranean Sea in western Italy.

The novel looks at the experiences of Yossarian and other members of the military, who try to maintain sanity while meeting the ever-changing requirements of their superiors so that they can return home.

<u><em>The answer is</em></u>: <u>A. "The story of Yossarian, a World War II bombardier ..."</u>.

The correct answer to what do Bixby's expressions suggest about his character is the last option: He has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.

When Bixby says things like <em>"By the great Caesar's ghost"</em> or <em>"you don't know enough to pilot a cow down a lane"</em>, it becomes clear that he has a <em>funny, comical and somehow inventive character.</em> His expressions are <em>jokes or puns</em> that seem to be <em>natural</em>, they appear to be <em>common or usual in his speech</em> and to come intuitively. So, the correct answer to what the expressions suggest about Bixby's character is that <em>he has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.</em>

The correct answer couldn't be the first option, <em>"He has a large and somewhat imposing personality"</em> because there is <em>nothing imposing about the comments Bixby does</em>. He is, indeed, a little bit acid, but not at all imposing. On the contrary,<em> he asks for Moses' help and says that he believes him.</em> Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be "He has a large and somewhat imposing personality".

The correct answer couldn't be the second option, <em>"He does not get along well with any other people"</em>, because there is <em>nothing on his way of speaking which indicates that his jokes, puns or way of expressing himself are not well excepted by people.</em> On the contrary, he seems to be acid, humorous, <em>but also friendly.</em> Thus, the correct answer couldn't be "He does not get along well with any other people".

The correct answer couldn't be the third option, <em>"He is extremely well read and well educated"</em> because Bixby shows <em>no signs</em> of that. On the contrary, <em>when he speaks, his expressions are informal and conversational.</em> So, the correct answer couldn't be "He is extremely well read and well educated".
