Which three parts of this excerpt from "Editha" by William Dean Howells denote the meaninglessness of war? (The options are pare

nthesized, must pick three)
"No, girls don't; women don't, when they give their men up to their country. (They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went,) or if it's an empty sleeve, or even an empty pantaloon, it's all the more glory, and they're so much the prouder of them, poor things!"
The tears began to run down Editha's face; she had not wept till then; but it was now such a relief to be understood that the tears came
"No, you didn't expect him to get killed," Mrs. Gearson repeated, in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. "(You just expected him to kill someone else,)(some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches)-conscripts, or whatever they call 'em. (You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of.") The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note. "I thank my God he didn't live to do it! (I thank my God they killed him first, and that he ain't livin' with their blood on his hands!") She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice, and glared at Editha.

the correct answers are "They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went", "some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches", and "You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."

Your boss, Jane Smith, has suggested changing the time off policy to allow employees to use their 15 days in any way they want,

Dear Ms. Smith,

I have read your new proposal for the workers' free days policy. After analyzing it, I consider that the extension and freedom in the use of our free days is excellent. Many times we get sick and decide to stay at home resting but then we have to do many medical procedures to prove our illness on the days we did not attend, with the new policy, workers should not be worry about getting medical notes when they are sick, this is really an advantage because it will allow us to rest peacefully.

About taking two consecutive days off is a great idea, many times the workers want to take a couple of days off to make small trips or to do some personal matters but we are embarrassed to ask for two days of rest in a row, so we prefer to wait until the weekend or wait until it is vacation time.

Although the proposal is very beneficial for the workers I think it is necessary to create some regulation parameters. For example, no more than three workers from the same department should take their two consecutive days off the same day as this can be counterproductive and generate a workload on other workers.

Also, although workers have the freedom to take a personal or sick day it is necessary to inform the head of the department as soon as possible in case there is any work that must be completed that same day, in this way the work that worker should do that day do not delay the work of others.

In conclusion, I believe that the new time off policy for workers is excellent and can improve the work performance of workers if it isregulated correctly. I hope that my answer will be useful to help you establish this new policy.


Best regards,
