Answer:

Recruits.

Explanation:

Synonyms are described as the words which display the meaning similar or nearly the same to another word or phrase.

As per the question, the word 'recruits' would be synonymous with 'conscripts' as they both convey a similar meaning or sense in the excerpt. The word 'conscripts' implies 'the individuals who are enlisted or enrolled compulsorily, especially in military or armed forces' which is quite similar to the meaning of word 'recruits' that means 'to enroll or enlist in the armed forces'. The author has employed the word satirically for 'the prisoners involved in U.S. army'. Therefore, both terms offer a similar meaning.

Read the following excerpt from the "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot:
mars1129 [50]

Even though option D is also related to Modernism and could be related to the excerpt, option C seems to be the correct one: It conveys the idea of isolation from modern life.

Modernist were called "the lost generation" because of their search for meaning among the fragments of modern life. In the excerpt, the words "lonely men" seem to address the theme of isolation and alienation in society. While everyone seems to have a role to perform in modern life, that does not mean they have found their true identity. Some sort of value seems to have been lost and, with it, men lost themselves. Modernism is characterized by the search of such value.

Both Wiesel's All Rivers Run to the Sea and Spiegelman's Maus relate events of the Holocaust
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

A) From a Jewish survivor's perspective.

Explanation:

In <em>All Rivers Run to the Sea</em>, Elie Wiesel tells us about his own experience under Nazis oppression and gruesome treatment of the Jews. He is a Jew, a writer and a survivor of the Holocaust, so in his work, we can <em>experience </em>the very essence of what was going there. Though his works made him famous, he said that those honors are a burden because he would rather like that his sister Tsiporah stayed alive, that Holocaust did not happen and book left unwritten.

Artie Spiegelman used his father Vladek`s vivid memories for writing <em>Maus. </em>He made hours and hours of interviews which included prewar, war and after war period.  Vladek with his first wife Anja were first sent into segregated neighborhoods (ghettos) and then going through several Nazi camps. They tried to escape several times, but always unsuccessfully. In that time they had a young son Richie who they sent to a different ghetto to be with his aunt, but after she found out about sending them to the camp, she pois oned her children, Richie and herself. After the war, Anja was deeply disturbed and she committed sui cide. Vladek continued his life, but haunted by terrible past.
