Question

This is an excerpt from a letter written by a soldier fighting in World War I and

sent to his mother:
The trenches stretch for miles, but even though they are
almost 12 feet deep, we can't walk around much. The
bullets and grenades rain down upon us at even the
slightest hint of movement, so all we can do is lean in
stillness, waiting, trying not to make a sound.
Which statement best represents the main idea of this source?
O A. Trenches were used extensively in World War I.
B. The soldier's mother is worried about her son.
O C. Trenches are often dug almost 12 feet deep.
D. Fighting in a World War I trench was boring and dangerous.

Answer 1

Answer:The correct answer it's D

Step-by-step explanation:

It was boring and dangerous to be in world war 1.

Answer 2

O A. Trenches were used extensively in World War I.

Step-by-step explanation:

Trenches are long and narrow pathways dug out to allow the passage or movement of soldiers during wars. They are dug out as hiding places, movement from one side to another while also helping in shielding the soldiers from enemy fire.

In the soldier's letter to his mother, he describes how the "trenches stretch for miles". And even though they cover miles of land, they (soldiers) are unable to move in fear of being shot at. This is why they must be alert and be patient, or they will get shot at any time they make any movement.

The statement that best represents the main idea of this source seems to be that trenches were used extensively during the First World War.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
