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>.

In this work, the author reports the terrible conditions of the slaughterhouses in the USA, both in relation to the quality of the meat sold, hygiene and working conditions, mainly in relation to the immigrants who worked in this industry.
Sinclair's descriptions shocked the public and an example of this can be seen on lines 102-122, where Sinclair presents disturbing images of the hands of the workers who had several cuts and were covered in blood. He did this to show the poor working conditions, hygiene and condensation.
