"They...<span>think that there is nothing more inglorious than that glory that is gained by war"
This quotation sums up the main idea because it not only reinforces to the reader that they are against war, but it gives some insight into why they are against war. The people think that there is no glory to be gained in war, so they choose to just prepare a defensive army, never an offensive one. </span>

"Hey Ash!" yelled Sebastian. Turning around, Ash smiled at Sebastian as he cleaned the floors. "When do you think you will be done?" asked Sebastian while eating his chips. Ash looked at Sebastian and his chips, "please don't make a mess" Ash pleaded to Sebastian. "Relax!" Sebastian exclaimed, still crunching on his chips. Ash sighed and continued cleaning while Sebastian sat down and read his school book. "I'll be done within a hour, Sebastian" Ask groaned. When Ash was finished, he nudged Sebastian and quietly spoke "let's go", before leaving the building.

I don't know which passage you are referring to, but if these are the options: <span>A.Women are not given opportunities to put their skills to good use. B.Living and working in the Salinas Valley is too easy. C.Difficult times call for difficult measures. D.Loneliness leads to unwise choices.
The answer is probably A.
In this short story, the main character Elisa is a woman who has a creative potential, as well as strength and persistence, but she never gets a chance to put them to good use. She craves an opportunity to realize her potential, but there is none. All she ever does are chores and housework, so she invests all her creativity into nurturing her chrysanthemums. The stranger is quite an intriguing figure for her - if nothing else, because he is different from her husband. He inspires her.
One might also think that D is the right choice. But I don't believe so. This is not a moralistic story. The author doesn't reprimand Elisa for giving a little bit of her affection to the stranger. He understands her behavior.</span>
