Answer 1

the answer would be option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

the narrator’s platoon was surrounded by the enemy, similar to the way the narrator feels when he is surrounded by his family.

The authors talk about the flashbacks to make readers understand the relationship between the title “Ambush” and the story. The soldiers often ended up remembering the memory from the past and suddenly catch them off-guard. The flashback ends up taking most of the story.

The story ambush is an emotional tale of regret and sorrow, that shows how soldiers get caught off-guard by the memories, and they are forced to remember the bygone days.

Answer 2

A. The narrator's present life cannot escape the bombardment of his wartime memories and actions.

Step-by-step explanation:
In this story, the title has two possible meanings. The first one is the obvious reference to the ambush that the narrator describes took place during the war. However, a secondary meaning is the "ambush" that happens in the narrator's present life. This refers to how the narrator feels unable to escape from the control and the bombardment that his wartime memories carry out in the present.
