How does the first paragraph of The Dark Game best support the central idea that the Civil War was a long war? It shares the det
ail that the war lasted four years. It states what people believed about the war at the time. It tells how many soldiers actually died in the war. It gives an example of a battle that lasted almost two days.
The right answer is " It shares the detail that the war lasted four years."
In the first paragraph of The Dark Game, the author makes a succinct, detailed account of the duration of the war, which was 4 years. He also reports in this paragraph how people did not expect the war to last so long and that they were surprised by the duration of the conflict, which brought so much pain and suffering to society.
