The correct answer is D. Setting
The setting is the time, place, and situation of a story. It is described or put forth in the introduction of a story.
The sentence shows that only a small part of the original troop survived, as shown in the second answer option.
We can arrive at this answer because:
- The text shows how the army is frustrated, due to the large number of losses it has suffered.
- These losses refer to the number of soldiers who died during the battle.
- The few soldiers who survived had to retreat in a grim, sad, and sullen way, as the poem presents.
This question is about the poem "A March in the Hard-Prest Ranks, and the Road Unknown."
