B. Prufrock wishes he were a crab living on the seafloor
Explanation:
In "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," the author T.S. Eliot depicts an insecure bald man with a skinny neck who wishes he were a crab. He lives in a dirty, big city where he feels bored, miserable and afraid. In fact, he feels that everybody looks down on him because he is going bald, and does not even dare reveal his feelings to the woman he has a crush on. Finally, his emotions of misery make him talk about the ocean and how he now worries about frivolous things.

The excerpt that shows the low self-esteem of the
soldiers and their belief that being a soldier has nothing to do with bravery
from Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," is the sentence “ The
three with the medals were like hunting-hawks; and I was not a hawk, although I
might seem a hawk to those who had never hunted; they, the three, knew better
and so we drifted apart.”
