Answer 1

The correct answer is "War has left him totally helpless".

Step-by-step explanation:

"Johnny Got his Gun" is an antiwar drama writing by Donald Trumbo that has Joe Bonham as the protagonist, a survivor of World War I that has lost his arms, his legs and his face. Joe Bonham is helpless and trapped on his own body. When he communicates his desire to be shown to other soldiers to make them realize the horrors of war, he wasn't able to do it so because it was against the war effort. This drama shows how a man losses everything in war and has to deal to be alive but trapped in an useless body.

And based on this novel, the significance of the physical condition of the narrator is that he still shows patriotism despite his physical condition. The answer is the last option. Hope this helps.
