in the war works hard, what is the effect of the way the author portrays war in lines 1-6?
\some are lifeless and glistening\ portrays the horrors experienced in war
\how eager and efficient!\ describes how men feel about fighting in war
\how magnificent the war is!\ uses a metaphor to describe the war
\wakes up the sirens and dispatches ambulances\ portrays war as an entity that causes harm

Explanation:

First Question (In Grape Sherbet...)

In "Grape Sherbet", the imagery around grape sherbet is tied to the speaker's father (who has passed, likely related to Memorial Day context). The inability to recall the sherbet’s taste mirrors the inability to get back time with the father, focusing on loss and memory, unlike the other options (joy on Memorial Day is incorrect as the poem has a more somber tone; free will of a child or a “wonderful” childhood memory don’t align with the poem’s reflection on loss).

Second Question (In The War Works Hard...)

In lines 1 - 6 of "The War Works Hard", the author personifies war as a force that acts (like waking sirens, sending ambulances). Sirens and ambulances imply emergencies/injuries, so this line shows war as a harmful entity. Other options: “Some are lifeless...” is not in lines 1 - 6; “eager and efficient” describes war’s “work” but not harm directly; “How magnificent...” is ironic, not a metaphor for war’s nature, and doesn’t focus on harm.

Answer:

that they cannot recall the taste of grape sherbet just as they can't reclaim their time with their father
