PART A: What does the word "dividend" in line 2most likely mean within the context of the poem?
A- It refers to the soldiers' payment from the military, which they are uncertain if they will receive because of their poor treatment.
B- It refers to the soldiers' anticipated military honors, which they are uncertain if they will receive because they may not earn any if they survive.
C- The poem uses "dividend" figuratively; the soldiers live under constant threat of death so they cannot necessarily expect to live out any tomorrows.
D- The use of "dividend" is used sarcastically to refer to the traumatic experiences of war.
