<span>Knowing that Howells was associated with the press explains his focus on truthful depictions of events. It also explains the backdrop of the story—the effects of patriotic propaganda in newspapers and magazines to garner public support and manipulate the emotions of their readers.</span>

Understanding the life of Willam Dean Howells will give a new light to what Editha is truly about.
Howells was already involved with the country's social issues more so come 1887 when the Haymarket radicals were executed. It is through Editha that he showed his great dislike for Spanish-American war as he thought of it as imperialistic.
The need for America to gain power and prove it self-superior to other countries during the said war, which leads to the loss of many lives. This is similar to Editha's views on the correctness and necessity of war, to which because of his love for Editha, her fiance George, loses his life as well.

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

She wants to gain control of the situation.

She is shocked by his insults.

She has sympathy for the fellow Austrian.

She plans to confess her crimes.

Answer:

She wants to gain control of the situation.

Explanation:

In the text above we can see that the officer is totally out of control, shouting and making a scandal in front of Miep, who remains calm and focused, without reacting to all the shouting that the officer is emitting. Miep does this to keep control of the situation in her hands and to stand in favor of her actions, showing courage and showing that she doesn’t tackle anything, more than that, when taking control of the situation Miep shows that she is correct and that there is no need for despair and scandals when you are correct.

vazorg [7]

Answer:

The answer is B. Incorreclty.

Explanation:

Unlikely cannot be possible amon the other as it is an adjective, and here we need an adverb, like the rest, so option "d" isn't possible. Ideally means perfectly or according to an ideal so this sounds rather strange according to this context. Succinctly means clearly or briefly and well, we cannot "briefly assume" we either assume or not, as a whole. And finally the divergence or in other words, difference, led the Western Historians to <u>incorrectly</u> assume something from the others.

Which excerpt from "Hills Like White Elephants" provides the most details about the main characters' lives outside the
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The excerpt that provides the most details about the main characters' lives outside the railway station is:

D. "He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where  they had spent nights."

Explanation:

"Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway is a short story revolving around the conflict between the two main characters. <u>They are a couple - apparently, unmarried -, and she is pregnant. However, their lifestyle will be greatly affected if she has the child. They live an easy life, comprised mainly of traveling and drinking, as the excerpt reveals:</u>

<em><u>"He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where  they had spent nights."</u></em>

<u>The passage above reveals they travel a lot in each other's company. We do not know much about their lives besides that revelation - what their professions are, why they have the means to travel so much, etc.</u>

She is tired of such a life. She sees it as meaningless, pointless. He, on the other hand, does not want to be disturbed or concerned by the existence of a child. He defends the idea that they are happy the way they are, and that nothing should change.
