The correct sentence that is written correctly is: A) Ever since I was a teenager, I have loved going to the theater.
Here are why the other options are wrong:
B) 'although the lasagna looked terrible, it tasted wonderful.' <-- "although" is not capitalized at the beginning of the sentence. If it's the start of a sentence, you have to capitalize the first letter of the first word.
C) 'Pepper and i decided it was time to head home.' <-- The issue with this is that the sentence does not capitalize "I". Nobody really knows why "I" needs to be capitalized since it is a first person pronoun.
D) 'while Jonathan was napping, I finished doing the dishes.' <-- "While" is not capitalized at the beginning of the sentence, making it improper.

Answer:
The soldiers A) felt that their efforts were not successful.
Explanation:
From the excerpt we are studying here, we can tell that soldiers were mistaken in their first judgment of their enemy. They thought they would easily win over a bunch of "peasant guerrillas" only to find themselves being killed each week. When the narrator says, "the blood being spilled broke our early confidence" he means soldiers now understood their efforts were not being successful.
This excerpt was taken from "A Rumor of War", a memoir by Philip Caputo. Caputo - who joined the war at first for the excitement the danger caused in him and for the ideal of serving his country - soon realized his mistake. Instead of coming back home filled with heroic stories about epic battles, the author says his own story is boring. Battles would last forever, American soldiers would keep on dying while the enemy hid in jungles full of traps and snipers.
Answer and Explanation:
NOTE: I will use the page number from the book I own. Change it if it does not match the page in your book.
"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald whose themes concern the degradation of the American dream and society. In chapter 4, the narrator, Nick, is riding in Gatsby's car with Gatsby himself. Up to this point in the story, very little is known about Gatsby. He is this mysterious millionaire who seems to have taken a sudden interest in Nick.
While driving - and speeding -, Gatsby is tagged along by a policeman. He shows the policeman a white card that immediately releases him from having any kind of trouble. Nick asks him what it was, to which he gets the following answer:
<em>‘I was able to do the commissioner a favor once, and he sends me a Christmas card every year.' (page 74)</em>
That interaction already reveals a lot about Gatsby. We know he is somehow influential. The Christmas card he showed the policeman is enough to keep him from getting a speed ticket, and probably would keep him from having any trouble with the police whatsoever. Even though we do not know what the favor was, Gatsby is obviously relying on it to get away with wrongdoings, which leads us to think it was likely something shady.
