12 Burst agonized and clear!

Answer 2

1: Which is the best paraphrase of the poem?

A -- Success is very sweet. People who win a war feel the sweetness of victory and success. The people on the losing side wish they could experience it, but they never can.

B -- People who don't experience success understand it's sweetest the most. The people are victorious in a battle cannot appreciate victory as much as the dying soldier who suffers the loss.

C -- To be successful, you really have to want and need it. Soldiers who experience in a war did not want the victory badly enough. If they had, they would have won.

D -- Success is as sweet as a nectar on a ripe fruit. Soldiers in battle strive for victory and capture it from the losing side. The soldiers on the losing side are agonized by the winners success.
