Question

1. in ernest hemingway’s “in another country,” which portrayal of the war is distinctly american?

the soldiers are idealistic and uphold bravery and heroism as models.
the narrator is detached and emotionless about the things that happen to him.
the major is disillusioned and cynical about everything around him.
the doctor is hopelessly optimistic about the machines’ ability to cure injuries.

Explanation:

In Hemingway's In Another Country, the major embodies the distinctively American post-war disillusionment (a key trait of the "Lost Generation" literary movement). The soldiers are not idealistic about heroism, the narrator engages with his experiences emotionally, and the doctor is optimistic about the machines, making this the correct portrayal.

Answer:

The major is disillusioned and cynical about everything around him.
