Question

As a British citizen, Violetta Thurstan knew what it was like for her country to be occupied by foreign soldiers.

Only Fanny Kemble Johnson was a direct witness to a foreign invasion during World War I.

Answer 1

Correct answer: Only Violetta Thurstan was a direct witness to a foreign invasion during World War I.

Explanation: Violetta Thurstan was a British nurse who served on the Continent and wrote Field Hospital and Flying Column from her own wartime experience, including witnessing German invasions/occupations. Fanny Kemble Johnson, an American, wrote the short story "The Strange-Looking Man" (fiction) rather than an eyewitness memoir and was not a direct witness to a foreign invasion.
