The imagery in "The Rear-Guard":

c. stresses the horror of war

Explanation:

"The Rear-Guard" is a poem by author Siegfried Sassoon. Vivid imagery is used to convey the horrors of war to the audience.

The narrative poem focuses on a soldier who is walking through tunnels underneath a bloody battle. The speaker takes his time when describing a certain scene: The soldier finds someone lying on the ground and pauses to ask him a question, not realizing this man is dead. He then sees the decaying body and the agony that, for some reason, has not left his eyes yet. When the soldier finally finds the exit, it is only to suffer more in battle.

ludwig van beethoven (/ˈlʊdvɪɡ væn ˈbeɪt(h)oʊvən/ (about this soundlisten); german: [ˈluːtvɪç fan ˈbeːthoːfn̩] (about this soundlisten); baptised 17 december 1770[1] – 26 march 1827) was a german composer and pianist. a crucial figure in the transition between the classical and romantic eras in classical music, he remains one of the most recognized and influential of all composers. his best-known compositions include 9 symphonies; 5 piano concertos; 1 violin concerto; 32 piano sonatas; 16 string quartets; a mass, the missa solemnis; and an opera,

beethoven was born in bonn, then the capital of the electorate of cologne and part of the holy roman empire. he displayed his musical talents at an early age and was taught by his father johann van beethoven and composer and conductor christian gottlob neefe. at the age of 21 he moved to vienna, where he began studying composition with joseph haydn and gained a reputation as a virtuoso pianist. he lived in vienna until his death.

by his late 20s his hearing began to deteriorate and by the last decade of his life he was almost completely deaf. in 1811 he gave up conducting and performing in public but continued to compose; many of his most admired works come from these last 15 years of his life, commonly known as his "late" period.
