Answer:
A real war and a "war" of fighting to grow old and successful
Explanation:
Based on the excerpt, Robert Louis Stevenson was reminiscing about his days as a younger man and the internal conflicts he had.
In the first paragraph, he talked about the real war he witnessed where he heard the "loudness" of the battles and the "pain of men's wounds". He also talked about another internal "war" which had to do with "slavery of competition", toiling for years and which culminated to fighting to be old and successful.
After several hours of deliberation the jury returned with the verdict—not guilty.
The answer is B. It begins before the subject was born. Correct me if I'm wrong. Also try looking it up if I am wrong lol
I can not remember the chapter, but I hope this helps.
