Through repetition, O'Brien wants to emphasize the automaticity and repetitive training that soldiers resort to in times of stress, as shown in option D.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • O'Brien wants to give a realistic account of how soldiers live in the face of war.
  • In addition to the dangers and fears they faced, soldiers live in a constant monotony.
  • This monotony and the harsh environment develop a great sense of stress in everyone.
  • This allows them to deal with stress through repetitive thoughts and automatic actions that are highlighted through the use of repetitions.

"Where Have you Gone, Charming Billy?" is a story that will show the feelings of fear, loneliness, and hopelessness of soldiers in the Vietnam war.

How to understand when to change a noun to a verb
meriva
You should only convert a noun to a verb when it serves the goals of clarity and precise language. For example, it's much easier to say, "the leader" than say, "the person who led us." But other times, conversion might not work as well. For example, if you're describing an alcoholic, describing the person as a drinker might provide less information than simply referring to him as an alcoholic or saying he likes to drink alcohol. To add on, Many suffixes can be added to verbs to change them to nouns. Examples include adding -er as in runner, adding -tion as in action or adding -ade as in blockade. You might also use -ment as in merriment or -ant as it's used in defendant. Check a dictionary to determine whether the suffix you're adding constitutes a real word. If it doesn't, you'll need to clearly note that you're using a manufactured word or find a way to convey your meaning without converting a verb to a noun.
