The correct answer is D) to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

Kennedy's purpose for using the phrase "the torch has been passed was to represent the passing on of responsibility by referencing a well known, meaningful practice.

He referred to the "new generation of Americans--born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace, proud of our ancient heritage." These Americans had the responsibility to work for the benefit of the United States despite the difficult circumstances and threats. That is why he expressed the quote "do not ask what this country can do for you, but what you can do for your country."

In Ernest Hemingway’s "In Another Country," how does the way in which the soldiers treat the narrator when they learn the truth
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

B.  It emphasizes his desire to fit in with those around him.

Explanation:

The narrator in Ernest Hemingway’s "In Another Country," was an injured American soldier whose name is assumed to be Nick, and who was described as receiving treatment for his injured leg in a hospital along with three other Italian soldiers. These soldiers were resented by the people in the society because they had medals. After their treatment, the four soldiers reclined at Cafe Cova were they drank and discussed.

While talking about their medals, the Italian soldiers realized that the American soldier received his own medal, not because he was brave, but because he was an American. This made them change their attitude towards him. The American soldier was afraid of death but liked to believe that he would have still been as brave as the Italian soldiers. This portrayed him as someone who liked to fit in with others. The American soldier's friendship with the Italian soldiers became cold after this realization. So, he became drawn to a fifth soldier who had no medal, and a more senior soldier who took no delight in bragging about his bravery.
