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.

The author's attitude toward the topic, characters, and audience of a text is known as _[blank]_. Which option correctly complet
Bad White [126]

The author's attitude is the tone.  This sets up mood, which is the reader's feelings toward the text.  I often teach these together because they can be so confusing.  Syntax is just the arrangement of words, which is often seen in poetry as this is where it is most effective.  Diction is simply the choice of words, which is part of tone but not the full definition of tone.  C is the correct answer.
