Question

Perhaps this war will pass like the others which divided us, leaving us dead, killing us along with the killers but the shame of this time puts its burning fingers to our faces. Who will erase the ruthlessness hidden in innocent blood? Which of the following is certainly not implied in the above verse?

• A. Killers also get killed in war.
• B. Humanity gets divided by war and reunites afterwards in peace.
• C. This war is especially ruthless.
• D. This war is shameful to the entire humanity.
• E. None can obliterate the ruthlessness of this war.

Hint:

When solving poetry/verse implication questions, stick strictly to what is mentioned. If a statement introduces something beyond (like peace here), it is not implied.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Extract the meaning of the verse.
The verse talks about: - Division and killing during war. - Ruthlessness and shame of war. - Innocent blood shed that cannot be erased.

Step 2: Evaluate each option.
- (A) Killers also get killed → Implied by “killing us along with the killers.”
- (B) Humanity reunites afterwards in peace → No such idea of peace/reunion is mentioned. (Not implied).
- (C) War is ruthless → Explicitly mentioned.
- (D) Shameful to humanity → Explicitly stated.
- (E) Ruthlessness cannot be erased → Matches the last line.


Step 3: Conclude.
The verse does not suggest peace or reunion, making (B) the correct answer. \[ \boxed{\text{(B) Humanity gets divided by war and reunites afterwards in peace.}} \]
