According to the text, what view of paradise is presented?

after the soup, we gathered between the bunks. the veterans told us: "you're lucky to have been brought here so late. today, this is paradise compared to what the camp was two years ago. back then, buna was a veritable hell. no water, no blankets, less soup and bread. at night, we slept almost naked and the temperature was thirty below. we were collecting corpses by the hundreds every day. work was very hard. today, this is a little paradise. the kapos back then had orders to kill a certain number of prisoners every day. and every week, selection. a merciless selection…yes, you are lucky."

question 10 options:

an ironic view of paradise where the smallest scrap of humanity is interpreted as a gift.

the prisoners call it paradise as a code, so the ss officers won’t realize they are speaking badly about their treatment.

the prisoners are so weak and disturbed by their experiences, they don’t remember what it was like before the camp.

the use of the word paradise is referencing the beliefs of the jewish people and their history.

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful
