what emotional truth is conveyed in both \ambush\ and \facing it\?
those who experienced or fought in the vietnam war are forever affected by it in some way.
denial of past experiences is often the best way in which to deal with them and move forward.
it is perplexing that not everyone is as affected by war as the veterans who fought in it.
one always experiences guilt and remorse after killing someone during a time of war.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the themes of "Ambush" and "Facing It". "Ambush" (by O'Brien) and "Facing It" (by Komunyakaa) both deal with the long - term impact of the Vietnam War on those who experienced it. The first option states that those who experienced or fought in the Vietnam War are forever affected by it, which aligns with the emotional truth in both works. The second option is incorrect as denial is not presented as a good way to deal with past experiences. The third option is not a central emotional truth in both works. The fourth option is too narrow as not all content is about guilt from killing someone.

Answer:

A. Those who experienced or fought in the Vietnam War are forever affected by it in some way.
