Explanation:

Question 1

A "requiem" is a musical composition or piece (often a mass) for the dead, which fits the context of honoring war victims. "Dirge" is also a mournful song, but "requiem" is more associated with a formal composition by a composer to honor the dead.

Medical students examining a "corpse" (a dead body) to learn about human body functions is a common practice in anatomy studies.

"Decaying" means rotting or breaking down, which describes the old wooden fence falling into the soil as it deteriorates.

Answer:

requiem
