Read the excerpt from a rumor of war. repeatedly, i have found myself wishing that i had been the veteran of a conventional war, with dramatic campaigns and historic battles for subject matter instead of a monotonous succession of ambushes and firefights. but there were no norman-dies and gettysburg for us, no epic clashes that decided the fates of armies or nations. the war was mostly a matter of enduring weeks of expectant waiting and, at random intervals, of conducting vicious manhunts through jungles and swamps where snipers harassed us constantly and b**by traps cut us down one by one.   based on the excerpt, why might the author have titled the book a rumor of war? a)because the author wrote about the vietnam war, but he did not actually fight in itb)because many people have forgotten the events that happened during the vietnam warc)because the vietnam war was fought in an especially brutal and untraditional wayd)because many of the vietnam war stories are believed to be untrue and exaggerated

The answer is letter C. because the Vietnam war was fought in an especially brutal and unconditional way

Philip's personal experience as a soldier in the vietnam war led to this literary piece. "A Rumor of War" was called as such because as stated in the excerpt above "But there were no Norman-dies and Gettysburg for us, no epic clashes that decided the fates of armies or nations. The war was mostly a matter of enduring weeks of expectant waiting and, at random intervals, of conducting vicious manhunts through jungles and swamps where snipers harassed us constantly and b**by traps cut us down one by one." this meant that as a trained military officer, he was surprised at how different the war was being treated. The government was treating the war as insignificant and the involvement of the U*ited S*ates in this war is quite vague. They were sent to vietnam thinking that they wouldn't be involved in such detriment. It was thought that it is not a war at all. But contrary to that belief, one by one they were defeated, captured and tortured by the north vietnamese. This led the author to get the feeling that this was a war with many hidden agenda proving that the truth of the war is much closer to the rumors than what is made known.

the answer on edge is C!!

what are your options ?

i would say years or cherry blossoms

18≥1.5x

then you're going to want to divide 18 by 1.5. this equals 12. so the answer would be 12.

aka, you can buy 12 peppers, at most.
