I believe the correct answer is naive.
The author is trying to say that he was ignorant, and that he couldn't understand properly these new revelations. He was either too young or too stupid to understand such a thing, but he believes he will as he grows older.
Affected would be your answer...affected means something attacked the body...effected means it did not attack the body...just showed symptons
Superiority Theory is when you laugh at someone else’s expense. You are making fun of them because you feel superior to them.
Release Theory is you laugh to release nervous energy.
Incongruity Theory is a joke that a comedian would use. “The most common kind of joke is that in which we expect one thing and another is said; here our own disappointed expectation makes us laugh.”
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>.
C. going into the business right after high school.
