Question

read the excerpt from hemingways a farewell to arms. the major was a little man with upturned mustaches. he had been in the war in libya and wore two wound - stripes. he said that if the thing went well he would see that i was decorated. i said i hoped it would go well but that he was too kind. i asked him if there was a big dugout where the drivers could stay and he sent a soldier to show me. i went with him and found the dugout, which was very good. the drivers were pleased with it and i left them there. what effect does hemingways limited use of adjectives have? it slows down the narration by interrupting the action. it makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful. it makes the narrator seem powerless and insincere. it prevents the readers from filling in the details with their own experiences.

Explanation:

When an author uses few adjectives, the ones employed stand out more. Hemingway's sparse use of adjectives focuses the reader's attention on the selected descriptive words, enhancing their impact.

Answer:

It makes the few descriptive words he does use more vivid and forceful.
