Which three parts of this excerpt from "editha" by william dean howells denote the meaninglessness of war? (the options are parenthesized, 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 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 my god he didn't live to do it! (i 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.

Which sentences from part 1 of the call of the wild would best serve as evidence of the theme "sometimes survival depends on knowing when not to fight"? buck had accepted the rope with quiet dignity. to be sure, it was an unwonted performance: but he had learned to trust in men he knew, and to give them credit for a wisdom that outreached his own. he had merely intimated his displeasure, in his pride believing that to intimate was to command. but to his surprise the rope tightened around his neck, shutting off his breath. he saw, once for all, that he stood no chance against a man with a club. he had learned the lesson, and in all his after life he never forgot it. that had given them an unfair advantage; but now that it was off, he would show them. they would never get another rope around his neck.
