Answer 1

To determine which excerpt from "A Story of the Red Cross" reflects the frame from "One War Ends, Another Begins," it's important to analyze the context and themes of each text. While I can't view the frame directly, I can evaluate the content of the excerpts provided.

The excerpt mentioning "a shipload of supplies from the business people of New York," along with the mention of distribution and aid, likely reflects themes of humanitarian support and assistance during or after a conflict. This ties into the idea of providing help to those affected by war and disaster.

From the options presented, the first excerpt:

“Later on arrived a shipload of supplies from the business people of New York, which were stored with the Galveston committee, and we were asked to aid in the distribution of these supplies,….”

is most likely to reflect the scene depicted in "One War Ends, Another Begins" as it emphasizes the delivery of aid and the collective effort to assist those in need, which is often a central theme in narratives involving the aftermath of conflict.

The other excerpts focus more on personal reflections, historical authenticity, waiting, and the importance of help in a broader sense rather than directly addressing the immediate action of providing aid like the first excerpt does. Therefore, the first excerpt appears to be the best fit.
