Question

how do the authors differ in the way they present the war in \facing it\ and \ambush\?
○ obrien describes it in narrative form, while komunyakaa describes it with free - flowing thoughts.
○ obrien describes it with flashback, while komunyakaa describes it through the eyes of others.
○ obrien describes exactly what happened, while komunyakaa describes only his emotional state.
○ obrien describes it with sensory language, while komunyakaa describes it with personification.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: In "Ambush", O'Brien uses a narrative (story - like) form, and in "Facing It", Komunyakaa's poem has free - flowing, reflective thoughts. This matches how they present the war.
• Option 2: Komunyakaa in "Facing It" does not describe the war through others' eyes, so this is incorrect.
• Option 3: Komunyakaa in "Facing It" does more than just describe his emotional state (he describes the war and the memorial), so this is wrong.
• Option 4: O'Brien in "Ambush" does not mainly use sensory language, and Komunyakaa in "Facing It" does not mainly use personification, so this is incorrect.

Answer:

A. O'Brien describes it in narrative form, while Komunyakaa describes it with free - flowing thoughts.
