\i know it is bad but we must finish it.\
\it doesnt finish. there is no finish to a war.\
\yes there is.\
passini shook his head.
\war is not won by victory. what if we take san gabriele? what if we take the carso and monfalcome and trieste? where are we then? did you see all the far mountains to - day? do you think we could take all them too? only if the austrians stop fighting. one side must stop fighting. why dont we stop fighting? if they come down into italy they will get tired and go away. they have their own country. but no, instead there is a war.\

Explanation:

To determine the effect of Passini's long dialogue, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because Passini's dialogue shows a deep understanding of war's futility, not naivety.
• The second option is incorrect as his dialogue is based on reasoned thoughts about war's nature, not just emotions.
• The third option is correct. His long, passionate arguments about war not having an end, questioning the purpose of taking territories, and advocating for stopping the fighting show he feels strongly about his beliefs regarding war.

Answer:

They indicate that Passini feels passionately about his beliefs.
