Question

In this excerpt from Earnest Hemingway’s “In Another Country,” Whig sentences show the distrust the soldiers had toward new technology and medicine in the postwar era

Answer 1

The answers are the following:
In the next machine was a major who had a little hand like a baby's. He winked at me when the doctor examined his hand, which was between two leather straps that bounced up and down and flapped the stiff fingers

The doctor went to his office in a back room and brought a photograph which showed a hand that had been withered almost as small as the major's, before it had taken a machine course, and after was a little larger.

"Very interesting, very interesting," the major said, and handed it back to the doctor.
