Answer 1

1 — contains few adjectives and adverbs but many strong verbs and concrete nouns.

2 — are still loaded with meaning.

Brief rationale: Hemingway’s style favors economy—short, simple sentences, strong concrete nouns and verbs, minimal adjectives/adverbs—so the compact sentences carry deeper, often implicit meaning.
