Answer:

a. They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went

c. some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches

d.  You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."

Explanation:

The short story "Editha" by William Dean Howell revolves around the character Editha who thinks that war is glorious and 'forces' her fiancé to enlist. But in the end, the man died, thus showing how useless war is.

After Editha persuades George to enlist for the war, he did not return alive, which led to the outburst of George's mother. She lamented that just because she (Editha) <em>"thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of"</em> doesn't justify the war. She also commented on how people <em>"think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went"</em>. She also referred to the foreigners who weren't there as <em>"poor wretches".</em>

Thus, <u>options a, c, and d shows the meaninglessness of war</u>.

Read this excerpt from "A 400-Year-Old Woman" in The Writer and Her Work by Bharati Mukherjee and answer the
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer: C) “I’m a person who couldn’t ride a public bus when she first arrived, and now I’m someone who watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels.”

Explanation:

When using satire for humour, one uses ironies, reversals, exaggeration and ridicule in such a way that the situation is funny in its unexpectedness.

In this excerpt, the woman could not do such a simple American thing as riding a public bus but she is now so in tune with American culture that she watches tractor pulls on obscure cable channels.

This reversal in situation shows satire as when she first came to the US, she would not have expected to be doing such things as watching tractor pulls in the future.

becoming a leader: you can say how he got the support off the peolpe because off his promise of a return to the old better germany. also about the thing he put in place to secure his power like banning all goverment parties other than the nazi party
leading up to his death you could write about how angry and desperate he became in the later stages of the war until he killed himself along with his wife but at the same time mention the recent finding by the CIA the suggest he fled too argintina by submarine and that the body found wasnt hitlers
