HELP PLEASE Read the following excerpt from "The Yellow Peril and the Dockers" by Leon Lopez (Claude McKay) before you choose your answer.
"We were met at the gate by an old pal who took us down to the hold of his ship, where we had breakfast à la creole, rice and corn meal and flour dumplings, swimming in coconut oil and thick coarse unadulterated cocoa made in native style with fat floating on the top. It was a great meal and for years I had not tasted one like it but it turned bitter In my mouth when I thought of the despairing crowd of men outside. Even the wretched life of my swarthy friends in the ships' bottoms was better than gnawing starvation ashore." In this excerpt, the author uses descriptive language to
A. emphasize the contrast between abundance and hunger
B. reveal his respect for international cultures and cuisine
C. signify his distaste and utter contempt for excess
D. create a feeling of nostalgia for the comforts of home

the question concerns exactly this part of the speech:

i am not now thinking of the loss of property involved, immense and serious as that is, but only of the wanton and wholesale destruction of the lives of non-combatants, men, women, and children, engaged in pursuits which have always, even in the darkest periods of modern history, been deemed innocent and legitimate. property can be paid for; the lives of the peaceful and innocent people cannot be.

president wilson talks about the lives of people destroyed by german army. but these people are not americans, they are the local people living in europe. the president mentions the barbarity of germans, considering that he is not targeting the nation, instead it is said about german army. the correct answer is the last one.

the correct answer is:   [c]:

                    →     " leave it out. "  

hope this is to you!

        best wishes!

- " in poetry, one of the best ways to practice technique is to write in. i want all to be unstressed so that “all the clocks” and “in the night” are matching anapests. many forms that sharpen skills are useful in free verse."

this is the sentence that best shows that fast food restaurants are designed for using unskilled labor.
