Answer:

C. Character.

Explanation:

The short story of "The Sniper" by Liam O'Flaherty tells the story of a Republican sniper in a war of bullets against an enemy sniper who later turns out to be his own brother.

The excerpt in the question is from the initial paragraph of the story which gives a detailed description of the Republican sniper, our protagonist. The details such as "<em>the face of a student, thin and ascetic, but his eyes had the cold gleam of the fanatic</em>" or "<em>eyes of a man who is used to looking at death</em>" gave the shape of the character. We also know about his profession with the inclusion of the detail "<em>rifle and over his shoulders was slung a pair of field glasses</em>". All these details of the second paragraph of the short story gave us the character of the sniper.

Explain the two theological problems of Canto IV and how Dante addresses them. Your answer should be at least one hundred words.
Iteru [2.4K]
In Canto IV, Dante is informed of how people who lived before the time of Jesus Christ are forced to spend the rest of their eternal after lives. He is told that they are stuck in limbo, and cannot be pulled from their grueling state. Dante weeps because he realizes it is unfair; those people did not have the option to follow Jesus Christ and be baptised into christianity.
