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>.
Answer:
The false confessions extracted from the four pigs.
The slaughter of the pigs by the dogs at Napoleon's order.
Explanation:
The Great Purge was an event in the history of the Russian government during 1936-38. During this period, the Russian dictator Joseph Stalin ordered those 'traitors' of his government to be on trial and even killed. The period was strife with ethnic cleansing, 'removing' dissenting people, murders, trials known and unknown, etc.
Similar to Stalin's rule, Napoleon also carried out trials and killings as he deems fit. He would order his dogs to 'execute' his order, which can be seen in the given excerpt when the four pigs were killed by the dogs. Not only that, extracting false 'declarations/confessions' from the pigs which is the cause of their 'execution' was also a similar element to that of Stalin's "Great Purge".
Thus, the correct answers are the second and fourth options.
