 In Ernest Hemingway’s “In Another Country,” the major most likely stays away from the hospital for three days to mourn the death of his wife.

The major was very scornful towards doctors due to the fact that his injuries were not cured by them and he is skeptical about the fact that machines will succeed in curing the three soldiers who Nick befriended.

The short story “In Another Country,” is about an ambulance corps member in Milan during World War I.

Answer:

To mourn the death of his wife.

Explanation:

The short story of "In Another Country" by Ernest Hemingway tells the story of a wounded American soldier recovering in an Italian hospital. Nick was the narrator and main protagonist of the story who tells us about the other soldiers.

Among the other wounded soldiers was an old man, a major who had been regularly treated and also seen and interacted with by Nick. But one day, he and the major talked about the idea of marriage which seemed to anger the major. H snapped at Nick and told him that "<em>a man must not marry</em>" and that "<em>If he is to lose everything, he  should not place himself in a position to lose that. He should not place himself in a  position to lose. He should find things he cannot lose.</em>" But then, he later apologized that he was distraught and acted that way because his wife had died. For the next three days, he failed to turn up for the treatment. The reason why he likely stayed away from the hospital was to mourn the death of his wife.

The correct answer would be 
D) According to Scholastic Book Records 2011, soccer player Lionel Messi makes over $39 million dollars annually. This impressive salary is from his work as a striker for La Liga's Barcelona team (page 99). 
This is correct because it leaves your point of view out, it has correct grammar, and it gives you the source.

How does tom sawyer increase maturity??
natta225 [31]

To say that Tom matures is not to say that he becomes mature in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (or afterwards).

The first example of Tom’s maturity is when he visits her aunt during his funeral.  He realizes that he has hurt her, and he feels bad.  For once Tom actually feels empathy for others.  He also feels sorry for Huck when he does not seem to have someone to miss him.

This was a new aspect of the thing. His smartness of the morning had seemed to Tom a good joke before, and very ingenious. It merely looked mean and shabby now. He hung his head and could not think of anything to say for a moment. Then he said: “Auntie, I wish I hadn't done it—but I didn't think.” (ch 19, p. 88)

The second example of Tom’s maturity is when he lies to the schoolmaster for Becky Thatcher.  When Tom jumps up to claim he was the one who ripped the schoolbook, taking Becky’s punishment, he surprises everyone- even himself!

The school stared in perplexity at this incredible folly. Tom stood a moment, to gather his dismembered faculties; and when he stepped forward to go to his punishment the surprise, the gratitude, the adoration that shone upon him out of poor Becky's eyes seemed pay enough for a hundred floggings. (ch 20, p. 92)

The final example of Tom’s maturity is when he tells the prosecutor about what really happened in the cemetery, despite his fear of Injun Joe.  Tom does the right thing, and tells the truth, because his conscience tells him to.

Since Tom's harassed conscience had managed to drive him to the lawyer's house by night and wring a dread tale from lips that had been sealed with the dismalest and most formidable of oaths, Huck's confidence in the human race was well-nigh obliterated.
