Answer:
In these two excerpts the common idea resides in the fact that these men, who have experienced war and its aftereffects, are unable to verbalize the fact that they had to kill another human being. This, more than anything else about war, traumatizes the characters in both excerpts. This can be seen when in Ambush, the speaker reacts to his daughter´s comment on killing someone and he, overcome by the shame of having to face again the memories of something that happened during the war, lies to his child and reacts to her comment by embracing her instead of talking anymore. In the second excerpt of Symptoms, the soldiers are described as men who can talk willingly about all aspects of war except when they had to face the traumatizing event of killing people. Other than that, they would verbalize their thoughts openly; but not the thoughts of having killed, or witnessed the killing, of other people. This is why the correct answer is 1.

Answer:
The answer is that his son has been caught smoking.
Explanation:
Yevgeny's problem is that his seven year old son has been caught smoking tobacco by the governess, and , what's more, the son actually stole the tobacco rom Yevgeny's desk.
Yevgeny's wife, the boy's mother, has died, and he regrets that he really has no notion of how o speak to the child about the smoking, he does not think that smoking is all that bad as an habit after all he does it himself, and he does not know how to impress upon the child the seriousness of lying about that kinda behavior.
"Yevgeny Petrovitch finds it as strange and absurd that he, an experienced advocate, who spent half of his life in the practice of reducing people to silence, forestalling what they had to say, and punishing them, was completely at a loss and did not know what to say to the boy."
