Which two parts of this excerpt from William Dean Howells's "Editha" idealize patriotism? "George: I understood-when you left me. But I think we had better emphasize your meaning that if we cannot be one in everything we had better be one in nothing. So I am sending these things for your keeping till you have made up your mind. "I shall always love you, and therefore I shall never marry any one else. But the man I marry must love his country first of all, and be able to say to me, "'I could not love thee, dear, so much, Loved I not honor more." "There is no honor above America with me. In this great hour there is no other honor."

    Answer: The right answers are:

    Excerpt 1: "But the man I marry must love his country first of all, and be able to say to me [ ... ]."

    Excerpt 2: "There is no honor above America with me. In this great hour there is no other honor."

    Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that, in these lines, the character of Editha is clearly expressing and idealizing her patriotism. She is writing a letter to her boyfriend, George, who, in order to win her love, must become a hero and fight for his country in the war. In these parts of the letter she is strongly putting forth her adamant conviction in, and fervent devotion to, her country.
