Read the excerpt from Hemingway’s 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. In the excerpt, what does the diction, or words used to express an idea, show about the narrator? It makes the narrator seem disorganized. It makes the narrator seem discliplined. It makes the narrator seem confused. It makes the narrator seem lively.
