Answer:

The three sentences that are correct are the following:In the next machine was a major who had a little hand like a baby's. He winked at me when the doctor examined his hand, which was between two leather straps that bounced up and down and flapped the stiff fingers...;The doctor went to his office in a back room and brought a photograph which showed a hand that had been withered almost as small as the major's, before it had taken a machine course, and after was a little larger...; and finally; Very interesting, very interesting," the major said, and handed it back to the doctor.

Step-by-step explanation:

I selected all of them and they said these were right..

E) because it shows that he got an medal for being wounded in war and he basically said that it was just a wound and he got a medal for it. Just by the tone of the story I don't think he was too happy with getting a medal for being hurt
