How does richard lovelace depict war in this excerpt from “to lucasta, going to the wars”?
and with a stronger faith embrace
a sword, a horse, a shield.
yet this inconstancy is such,
as you too shall adore;
i could not love thee, dear, so much,
loved i not honour more.
a) as a deplorable act
b)as a forced sacrifice
c)as an honorable mission
d)as a necessary rite of passage

This excerpt from "To Lucasta, Going to the Wars" Lovelace depicts war (C) as an honorable mission.

We can see that the writer thinks of war as an honorable mission because he sets the tone of pomp and honor when he writes "and with a stronger faith embrace/A sword, a horse, a shield.'. Also, the writer claims that unfortunately he cannot love his 'Dear' as much as going to war.

the statement that identifies the central idea of "the salem and other witch trail hunts" is d. while witch hunts may feel like a rare occurrence, mike kubic proves that such   incidents are not as uncommon as we originally thought.

the author is trying to show that witch hunts come in various forms and are produced by the fear of what isn't understood or it's different.
