Answer: Word choice: The sales manager is <u>aggressive</u>.

The sales manager is <u>bossy</u>   The sales manager is <u>assertive</u>. The underlined words are synonyms with generally the same denotation, but they have different connotations.

Active or passive voice:  The construction workers destroyed the trees when they replaced the sidewalk. (Active, and focuses on the workers)

The trees were destroyed by the construction workers when they replaced the sidewalk. (Passive, focuses on the trees)

Adverb movement: When they replaced the sidewalk, the construction workers destroyed the trees. (Moving the adverb clause to the beginning of the sentence gives more focus on the reason-- and may tend to justify the actions of the workers.)

Explanation:

These are just a few examples of some features of the language that may influence how a reader or listener may get different meanings from the same basic information.

Answer:

D. The corruption of the good by the forces of evil and selfishness

Explanation:

War is always, and should always, be talked about in a negative connotation. In this case, the "forces of evil" is the negative experiences that the officer has obtained, whether it was the death of close comerades, or the experiences of first-hand killing of enemies. When one has seen the negatives of life in the underworld of war, the old age beliefs of honor within a battlefield is but lost.  As such, when the virginity of a person's innocence is destroyed by the harrowing experiences, and, most likely, the close view of death, they lose interest of the every-day blessings, such as that they cannot get over the nightmares (PTSD). When the goodness of the world has been removed, and one is only exposed to the worse, the viewpoints of one become narcisistic, and the joys of life loses it's color and prestige within one's life.
