Select the correct text in the passage. Which three parts of this excerpt from "Editha" by William Dean Howells denote the meaninglessness of war?
"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 (O 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 tC 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.

Read the passage from animal farm. "that was part of the arrangement! " cried squealer. "jones's shot only grazed him. i could show you this in his own writing, if you were able to read it. the plot was for snowball, at the critical moment, to give the signal for flight and leave the field to the enemy. and he very nearly succeeded—i will even say, comrades, he would have succeeded if it had not been for our heroic leader, comrade napoleon. do you not remember how, just at the moment when jones and his men had got inside the yard, snowball suddenly turned and fled, and many animals followed him? and do you not remember, too, that it was just at that moment, when panic was spreading and all seemed lost, that comrade napoleon sprang forward with a cry of 'death to humanity! ' and sank his teeth in jones's leg? surely you remember that, comrades? " exclaimed squealer, frisking from side to side. now when squealer described the scene so graphically, it seemed to the animals that they did remember it. at any rate, they remembered that at the critical moment of the battle snowball had turned to flee. but boxer was still a little uneasy. how does the characterization of squealer support the author’s purpose? squealer's dramatic accusations draw parallels between him and stalin’s propagandists. squealer's uncertainty shows that he is not a reliable ally of napoleon and is ineffective with messaging. squealer's ability to get the animals to listen to him shows that any animal can rise to be a leader in time. squealer's humble interactions with the animals reflect the importance of equality and cooperation.
