Explanation:

• For the first question:
• The novel A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway is set during World War I. The protagonist Frederic Henry experiences the horrors of war, which is a central theme.
• His relationship with Catherine Barkley involves love, and her tragic death represents loss.
• Frederic also struggles with the conflict between his self - interest (wanting to be with Catherine) and his duty (as an ambulance driver in the war). So all the themes (war, love and loss, self versus duty) are present.
• For the second question:
• The word “sarcastically” is defined as speaking in a way that uses irony to mock or make fun of someone or something. A tone with no emotion is more like a flat or neutral tone. A respectful tone is the opposite of sarcastic.

Answer:

• First question: d) All choices are dominate themes.
• Second question: b) Speaking in a way that uses irony to mock or make fun of someone or something.
