Question

In “An Episode of War” by Stephen Crane, the lieutenant meets the doctor at the hospital. Which pair of adjectives best describes the doctor who looks at the lieutenant’s wound?

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: impatient; disdainful

Before bringing the lieutenant to the doctor, the wound has been tied by other people in order to prevent over bleeding. The impatient / disdainful that made by the doctor is caused by the interference of his busy works and because the way the wound was tied is incorrect.

Answer 2

Impatient and disdainful was best describe the doctor’s reaction. Apparently the doctor was to busy to tend to his wound. At first, he was kind but when he found out that the lieutenant was hurt, he became impatient.
