Question

Why may the author choose to begin “In Another Country” with: “The people hated us because we were officers, and from a wine-shop someone called out, "A basso gli ufficiali!" as we passed. Another boy who walked with us sometimes and made us five wore a black silk handkerchief across his face because he had no nose then and his face was to be rebuilt”.

The author wants the reader to know that the characters are civilians.

Answer 1

stuck between a and b

Answer 2

why don't u think it is c?

Answer 3

And A is not the answer because this passage doesn't have to do with patrioticness. Like there is not patriotic sense in the passage

Answer 4

Well actually now im leaning towards C , because it does present the setting "wine-shop" and then the conflict ""A basso gli ufficiali!"" . So would it be C?
