Which two sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers’ reluctance to talk about their war experiences?
Ambush
by Tim O'Brien (excerpt)

When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war; she knew I'd been a soldier. "You keep writing war stories," she said, "so I guess you must've killed somebody." It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. Someday, I hope, she'll ask again. But here I want to pretend she's a grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories:

Symptoms
by John Steinbeck (excerpt)

If they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters. They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these men had no such consideration in any other field.

Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

Answer: It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while

They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore

Explanation:

The two sentences in these excerpts that reflect the common theme of soldiers’ reluctance to talk about their war experiences include:

• It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while.

• They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore.

From the first excerpt, when the daughter of the soldier asked him if he had ever killed anyone, he lied and said no even though he had killed someone because he couldn't being himself to telling his young daughter that he as killed someone before.

From the second excerpt, the soldiers would discuss their experiences up to the time of battle and then won't talk about it anymore and this was thought to be heroic in them.

What is one reason for a writer to choose descriptive words and details?
O to connect thoughts logically
O to keep the audience engaged
O to develop a clear thesis statement
O to make the writing seem more formal

Answers

Answer:

to keep the audience engaged

Explanation:

One major reason a writer would decide to choose descriptive words and details is to keep the audience engaged.

Descriptive words are those words that are used to give greater detail about something and writers use this technique in order to have a clear thesis statement.

Therefore, it is necessary to use descriptive words to keep the audience engaged so their attention would not wander.

given a cash prize for winning the
championship
(a) All
(b)Any
(d) Most
(C)Some
(e)Each

Answers

Answer:

(e) Each

Explanation:

In English language, each is a word use to describe one of two or more distinct individuals considered separately but having a similar relation and often makes up an aggregate. Thus, each refers to everyone or everything that belongs to a group, regarded and identified separately.

In this context, the footballers are the group of people and each of them were given a cash prize for their victory in the championship.

Hence, the most appropriate word to fill the blank is "each" and the complete sentence would be written as;

"Each of the footballers was given a cash prize for winning the championship."
