Answer 1

“‘Well, now, what would they think of you, back there?’” (paragraph 11)

C

“Claude made a dash for him and clapped him on the shoulder.” (paragraph 4)

E

Step-by-step explanation:

With C, Claude is asking the soldier what the others would think of them, which could indicate that Claude is trying to appeal to the soldier's pride by getting him to think of what his peers would think of him, so then he would want to present himself in a not so sickly manner as to not worry anyone too much.

With E, Claude rushes to the soldier and claps him on the shoulder, which indicates that he is trying to show he is proud of what they have done. Instead of appealing to the soldier's pride verbally in the beginning, he gives a physical sign that is used to indicate that someone is proud of a person and happy to see them.

I hope this helps!, ( I don't know the full context of the situation, but I tried to answer as best I could. )
