"It's harder to see the depressions in the road." That means sunken area because think about it, why would depression, the feeling, be hard to see in the road?

MAXImum [283]

Answer :

In the short story "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty, "The cold gleam of the fanatic" indirectly characterizes his devotion to his beliefs.

The protagonist, the sniper, has been described as a fanatic who is calculated and focused on his craft. He is fastidious about his affairs and not squeamish at all as he has come face to face with death many times. He is confident of his talent and is eager to learn more about his craft.
