Question

select the correct text in the passage.
which sentence in this excerpt from \in another country\ by ernest hemingway reinforces the skepticism the soldiers have for the rehabilitation machines?
my knee did not bend and the leg dropped straight from the knee to the ankle without a calf, and the machine was to bend the knee and make it move as riding a tricycle. but it did not bend yet, and instead the machine lurched when it came to the bending part. the doctor said \that will all pass. you are a fortunate young man. you will play football again like a champion.\

Explanation:

To determine the sentence reinforcing soldiers' skepticism about rehabilitation machines, we analyze each:

• "My knee did not bend... machine was to bend the knee..." describes the machine's intended use, not skepticism.
• "But it did not bend yet, and instead the machine lurched when it came to the bending part." Shows the machine failed to work as intended, highlighting soldiers' doubt (since it didn't perform, making them skeptical of its effectiveness).
• The doctor's quote is reassurance, not skepticism.

Answer:

But it did not bend yet, and instead the machine lurched when it came to the bending part.
