Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the idea that war affects not only the minds of the combatants but also their physical reactions?

Answers

The correct answers are:

The sentences in the excerpts that reflects the idea that war affects not only the minds of the combatants but also their physical reaction are:  

First excerpt.

“The reality of what was happening in my stomach…”

“I crouched and kept my head low...”

“I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach…"

The body unconsciously reacts in moments of danger. War creates so much pressure on the mind and in the physical body. The soldier in the excerpt tells how he felt strange sensations of his stomach, his reactions and the way he tried to swallow what he was regurgitating.

Second excerpt.

“In all kinds of combat, the whole body is battered by emotion.”

“The ductless glands pour the fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it.”

The body prepares itself to the abrupt reactions it needs to survive against danger. In risky situations that demands focus and attention under critical and extreme conditions such as war, the body defends itself with internal reactions and chemical processes that facilitates survival.
1. "In a way, it seemed, he was part of the morning fog, or my own imagination, but there was also the reality of what was happening in my stomach."
2. "I tried to swallow whatever was rising from my stomach, which tasted like lemonade, something fruity and sour."
3. "In all kinds of combat the whole body is battered by emotion. The ductless glands pour their fluids into the system to make it able to stand up to the great demand on it."
