Symptoms

by John Steinbeck (excerpt)

During the years between the last war and this one, I was always puzzled by the reticence of ex-soldiers about their experiences in battle. 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.

Read the excerpts, paying special attention to the underlined sections. How does the theme differ in the two excerpts?

1 While "Ambush" deals with a soldier struggling to come to terms with his experiences, "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who have become so apathetic that they no longer try to understand their experiences.

2 "Ambush" talks of a soldier who can’t share his feelings with his daughter but hopes to someday, while "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who have lost all memories of the worst experiences of war.

3 "Ambush" deals with a soldier who is afraid of forgetting the war and who deals with his fear by writing down the stories, while "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who deliberately suppress all their painful memories of the war experience.

4 In "Ambush," the narrator works out his negative emotions about the war by confiding in his loved ones; in "Symptoms," the soldiers are unable to work out their negative emotions because they have completely forgotten their experiences.

Answer:

Your answer is option 2 which is "Ambush" talks of a soldier who can’t share his feelings with his daughter but hopes to someday, while "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who have lost all memories of the worst experiences of war.

The evidence for my answer can be found in the following parts:

"Ambush" - Someday, I hope, she'll ask again.

(This is where the soldier hopes his daughter asks him about his war experiences later)

"Symptoms" - They did not and do not remember--and the worse the battle was, the less they remember.

(This shows that the soldiers have lost all memories of the worst experiences of war)

And whatever he touched in that rich fortress of his soul sprang into golden life: as the years passed, the fruit trees—the peach, the plum, the cherry, the apple—grew great and bent beneath their clusters. His grape vines thickened into brawny ropes of brown and coiled down the high wire fences of his lot, and hung in a dense fabric, upon his trellises, roping his domain twice around. They climbed the porch end of the house and framed the upper windows in thick bowers. And the flowers grew in rioting glory in his yard—the velvet-leaved nasturtium, slashed with a hundred tawny dyes, the rose, the snowball, the redcupped tulip, and the lily.

Which inference about John Lewis is best supported by the following passage (paragraph 5)?
Like so many young people today, I was searching for a way out, or some might say a way in, and then I heard the voice
of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on an old radio. He was talking about the philosophy and discipline of nonviolence. He said
we are all complicit when we tolerate injustice. He said it is not enough to say it will get better by and by. He said each of
us has a moral obligation to stand up, speak up and speak out. When you see something that is not right, you must say
something. You must do something. Democracy is not a state. It is an act, and each generation must do its part to help
build what we called the Beloved Community, a nation and world society at peace with itself.

Q= Write a summary (50-70 words) of the following passage:
Homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine, first proposed by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1976, that attempts to treat patients with heavily diluted medicines. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilution with shaking by forceful striking, which homeopaths term succession after each dilution under the assumption that this increases the effect of the treatment. Homeopaths call this process potentization. Dilution often continues until none of the original substances remains. Homeopathic reference books known as repertories are then consulted, and a remedy is selected based on the totality of symptoms.
Homeopathic remedies are considered safe. but are criticized for putting patients at risk due to advice against conventional medicine such as vaccinations, anti-malarial drugs, and antibiotics. Depending on the dilution, homeopathic remedies may not contain any pharmacologically active molecules, and for such remedies to have a pharmacological effect would violate fundamental principles of science. Modern homeopaths have proposed that water has a memory that allows homeopathic preparations to work without any of the original substance; however, there are no verified observations or scientifically plausible physical mechanisms for such a phenomenon. The lack of convincing scientific evidence supporting homeopathy's efficacy and its use of remedies lacking active ingredients have caused homeopathy to be described as pseudoscience
