Hello. You did not quote the text to which this question refers, but I believe you are referring to James McPherson and the work he wrote called "What They Fought." However, you have not specified which part of the text the question refers to, which may leave the textual evidence inaccurate, but I hope I can help you.

In writing "What They Fought" James McPherson aimed to show the reasons that led southern and northern soldiers to maintain the American civil war, especially southern soldiers while they saw the impending defeat. He did this by analyzing letters and diaries of these soldiers who showed their thoughts without any kind of censorship or control. This objective is shown in a very clear and attractive way to the public, primarily because McPerson presents an accessible, easy and direct language text, which allows the reader to quench curiosity about the soldiers' thoughts in the face of such a great conflict.

Finger [1]

The sentence is taken from the short story Editha by William Howell. The theme revolves around patriotism, media and war. Editha is the main female lead of the story who forces her fiancé to enlist in the war.

The correct meaning of the underlined word Ignoble is:

Option B. <u>Contemptible</u>

The word can be explained as:

The word ignoble is used to describe the peace at a place but it is contemptible as there is no actual peace in the city as they are going through warfare.

The word contemptible also means despicable and hateful that fits best with the story theme.

Thus, ignoble means contemptible.
