Question

Look at the frame from One War Ends, Another Begins.

Which excerpt from A Story of the Red Cross best reflects what is occurring in this frame?

The direfulness of the news gathered as we proceeded on our journey, and delays were gotten over as quickly as possible.
The men who had been the fathers of the city, its business and its wealth, looked on aghast….
But that cordon of wreckage skirting the shore for miles it seemed, often twenty feet in height,….
The strongest buildings, half standing, roofless and tottering, told what once had been the make-up of a thriving city.

Answer 1

I can’t see the frame — could you upload it or describe what’s in it (people, buildings, shore, wreckage, expressions)?

If you want to pick now, match the image to these cues:
- lots of ruined, roofless, half-standing buildings → excerpt 4.
- a long belt of debris along the water’s edge, high piles of wreckage → excerpt 3.
- a group of prominent men standing and looking shocked → excerpt 2.
- people traveling and reacting to bad news, or a scene of hurried delays being overcome → excerpt 1.

Send the frame and I’ll pick the best excerpt.
