1. All of the following lines from "Cranes" demonstrate the story's message about the effects of war on people except.

B. "Then he suddenly he thought that Tokchae,too, must want a puff. But today, how could he offer a cigarette to a fellow like this?"

D. "I thought of evacuating, even if I hd to carry my father on my back. But my father said no. How could the farmers leave the land behind when the crops were ready for harvest?"
2. Read the following paragraphs from "Cranes."
Without a moment's delay, still out of breath from running, they untied the crane's feet and wings. But the bird could hardly walk. It must have been worn out from being bound.
The two held it up in the air. Then, all of a sudden, a shot was fired. The crane fluttered its wings a couple of times and came down again.
It was shot, they thought. But the next moment, as another crane from a nearby bush fluttered its wings, the boys' crane stretched out its long neck with a whoop and disappeared into the sky. For a long time the two boys could not take their eyes away from the blue sky into which their crane had soared.
Which word best describes the mood created by these paragraphs?
A. Celebratory
B. Comforting
C. Admiring*****
D. Tranquil
I think 1 is A and 2 is C. I'm not 100% sure if I'm correct or not.
