Question

read the excerpt from dispatches.

you came to love your life, to love and respect the mere fact of it, but often you became heedless of it in the way that somnambulists are heedless. being good meant staying alive, and sometimes that was only a matter of caring enough at any given moment.

based on the excerpt, which best describes a good soldier?

a soldier who fights honorably

a soldier who is always vigilant

a soldier who accepts his fate

a soldier who is superstitious

Explanation:

The excerpt states "Being good meant staying alive, and sometimes that was only a matter of caring enough at any given moment." To stay alive, a soldier needs to be vigilant (aware and careful) to care enough in each moment. "Fights honorably" is not supported (no mention of honor), "accepts his fate" contradicts the idea of actively staying alive, and "superstitious" is not mentioned. So the best description is a soldier who is always vigilant.

Answer:

a soldier who is always vigilant
