Answer 1

#1) Which parts of this excerpt from "Editha" by William Dean Howells denote the meaninglessness of war?

Answer: I believe that the parts of this excerpt from “Editha” by William Dean Howells that denote the meaninglessness of war are the following: They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went, or if it's an empty sleeve, or even an empty pantaloon, it's all the more glory, and they're so much the prouder of them, poor things!" & "No, you didn't expect him to get killed,"

I hope it helps, Regards.
