Answer:
The correct answer would be option b:"The author once felt pride and optimism about the war".
Explanation:
In the excerpt, the author says that "he was proud of the young American pilots sitting at the controls in the cockpit" and that "he was grateful for the opportunity to witness this adventure and report it".
It just says that he was excited to get on a U.S Army helicopter, it does not say nor infer that is was his first flying experience, therefore, option a is incorrect.
It doesn't say and it cannot be inferred that the U.S soldiers are trained in hand to hand combat, so option c is also incorrect.
The author barely mentions the Vietcong guerillas, and he does not seem to have any respect for them since he was excited about war, so option d is also incorrect.
Answer:
Because what you already have isn't ever satisfying enough. It's called adapting, as soon as you get something, you will always crave more. I guess you could call it a psychological addiction.
or
Looking forward to something or pushing for something gives people something to do, and helps you look forward to something later in life.

I doubt this is correct but I hope it helps a little! :)
<h2>By using military statistics</h2>
I think it is c because impede means delay so you are delaying the writer's creativity. when doing a research paper you are basing off facts and opinion, there is no need for creativity unless you are writing a fictional story.
