1. Yes.
2. Could it be C?
It could be - those were the 2 I questioned....I will do a little more research...thank you
You're welcome.
For the first question, you correctly chose option A. "Babylon Revisited" is a metaphorical title that F. Scott Fitzgerald uses to compare an ancient, ruined city to Charley's former life of excess. The choice of "Babylon" symbolizes a once-great city that has fallen from grace, much like how Charley's lavish and indulgent lifestyle crumbled during the economic downturn. By using this metaphor, Fitzgerald is drawing a parallel between the grandeur and subsequent decline of Babylon with the rise and fall of Charley's fortune and happiness.
Regarding the second question, your choice of option A is incorrect. In Ernest Hemingway's "In Another Country," the narrator does not view himself as lacking bravery compared to the other soldiers. Instead, the correct answer is option C. The narrator feels he does not deserve the medals he has received, unlike the other soldiers who have earned them through acts of bravery and sacrifice. The narrator's sense of unworthiness stems from the fact that his injuries in the war were not the result of his own bravery but instead occurred as a consequence of chance and luck.
