The author's short, descriptive sentences reflect Krebs’s thought process and his feelings about the girls, as stated in the first option and explained below.
<h3>What do the short sentences reflect?</h3>
The use of short, descriptive sentences can have varied purposes in literature. In this case, we must analyze what the purpose is in this excerpt from Ernest Hemingway’s “Soldier's Home.”
Notice that the sentences are showing us what going through Krebs's mind. In other words, we are shown his thought process. He seems to be quickly analyzing and judging what he sees - in this case, the girls. He rapidly goes from one thought to the next, judging and making conclusions about his feelings toward the girls.
With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the first answer choice is the correct option for this question.

Question 1:
Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."
Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."
Question 2:
Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.
Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.
In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.
