Does this question have the following list of options to choose from?
to protest the war
to demonstrate his love of country
to prove his political activism
to ensure he would not get drafted

If so, then the answer would be the third one. Goines is using satire, a type of writing, making fun of human behavior to condemn it or find some social change. He uses this type of writing so as to have the people/ reader think about the war more critically.

Answer:

A. Lech Walesa

C. Nelson Mandela

E. Andrei Sakharov

Explanation:

In his “Acceptance Speech for the Nobel Peace Prize,” Elie Wiesel referred to the suffering of the people who were represented by Lech Walesa, Nelson Mandela and Andrei Sakharov as important to him as the suffering of the Jews.

In his speech, he said, "Apartheid is, in my view, as abhorrent as anti-Semitism. To me, Andrei Sakharov's isolation is as much of a disgrace as Josef Biegun’s imprisonment. As is the denial of Solidarity and its leader Lech Wałęsa’s right to dissent. And Nelson Mandela’s interminable imprisonment.
