I think its number 1.

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 <em>Ambush</em>, 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 <em>Symptoms, </em>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.

dexar [7]

Answer: suspenseful and mysterious mood.

Explanation:

At the beginning, the setting starts out in a plane, then, it eventually turns to an hospital, more so, changing of the setting builds some sorts of suspense. Reason been he doesn't know where he is, where he's heading to, neither does he know what is going on, same as you too. As it was described in the story, when the character was pulling himself to the window, everyone was wondering what he saw and what exactly was going on in the window. Hence it gives a suspenseful and mysterious mood.
