Kenny Deleon · Answer 1

In my opinion, the correct answer is B. The story deals with a soldier's feelings about the war, while the drawing does not. Both the story and the painting are anti-war accounts, and neither of them deals with slavery. The story depicts a family drama, where a father and a son fight for the opposite sides and one day they face each other by accident. We see no personal, emotional elements in the painting. There is only an army in an attack, juxtaposed to General Reynolds who has just fallen.
