a. womenís roles in times of combat.
b. the causes and effects of world wars.
c. the violence directed at noncombatants.
d. bringing war criminals to justice.

C). The violence directed at noncombatants.

Explanation:

War literature is chiefly inclined towards depicting the action that took place in the battleground. Such literature is developed entirely around the war scenario where characters are obsessed with making arrangements for the battle or bearing the aftermath of the war or trying to recuperate or retrieve from the after-effects of the war. War literature is centrally aiming to depict the violence and bloodshed caused by the war and repercussions associated with it(internal(mental) and external(physical) struggle).

As per the question, the war literature of twentieth-century American writers like Elie Wiesel paid attention to 'the violence directed at non-combatants' as the civilians suffered extreme brutality and violence which was the outcome of the battle. Thus, option C is the correct answer as the writers reflected the aftermath of war by depicting the 'violence directed at them'.

the answer is d. books are banned from the library. this is an example of censorship because the library did not want people reading the content of those books. the library censored the books by banning them.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
