Answer 1

Are bamboo pipes like tobacco or something?

Answer 2

It's A.

Answer 3

I can't get a grip of the mood or message prevailed in the passage. How do you know?

Answer 4

The passage implies that when Song-sam was a child, there was no war in the country. Excerpts such as "it did not seem like the same village Song-sam had known as a boy" and "their faces were ridden with fear" are representations of how the war has affected the area. Thus, the important theme is the strain of war upon the country.
