Read the excerpt from hemingway’s a farewell to arms. the major asked me to have a drink with him and two other officers. we drank rum and it was very friendly. outside it was getting dark. i asked what time the attack was to be and they said as soon as it was dark. i went back to the drivers. they were sitting in the dugout talking and when i came in they stopped. i gave them each a package of cigarettes, macedonias, loosely packed cigarettes that spilled tobacco and needed to have the ends twisted before you smoked them. manera lit his lighter and passed it around. the lighter was shaped like a fiat radiator. i told them what i had heard. what does the excerpt reveal about the narrator? he prefers the company of the officers to that of the drivers. he only spends time with the officers so he can get cigarettes for the drivers. he looks down on everyone involved in the war, both officers and enlisted men. he interacts easily with both his superiors and the drivers.

The best answer here is the last one, that he interacts easily with both his superiors and the drivers. In the excerpt, we see how the narrator is able to talk with the officers with ease and then how he goes to the drivers with that same ease.

If we look at the other answers, we can see that they don't work. The first one doesn't make much sense as the narrator shows no preference towards either set of people. The second choice makes no sense because the narrator does not ask the officers for cigarettes. The third choice also does not make sense because there is no hint of derision from the narrator to the officers or drivers.

Which statement best summarizes this excerpt from leo tolstoy's the death of ivan ilyich? and in imagination he began to recall the best moments of his pleasant life. but strange to say none of those best moments of his pleasant life now seemed at all what they had then seemed—none of them except the first recollections of childhood. there, in childhood, there had been something really pleasant with which it would be possible to live if it could return. but the child who had experienced that happiness existed no longer, it was like a reminiscence of somebody else.
