Answer 1

d) public statement or announcement

Answer 2

Answer: d. public statements or announcements

Explanation: Within "A Farewell to Arms" by Ernest Hemingway, the best definition of the word "proclamation" is public statements or announcements. In Chapter XXVII of the book, Henry thinks about the words sacred, glorious and sacrifice. He has seen them on billposters which held proclamations. Those words now meant nothing to him. There was nothing sacred about them.
