First Answer: B) It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while

This sentence and the soldier's response came after he was asked if he has killed someone. It is clearly evident from the words alone that he had a hard time talking about it, even though he claimed he didn't kill anyone. He just talked about it because he thinks "it seemed right"

Second Answer: E) They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore

In this next sentence we can tell that the soldier has been comfortable narrating his experiences pre-war. After that, he just couldn't find himself going on for more. This would tell us specifically that they cannot find the courage to actually talk about the events that happened in the war itself.

E) They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore

Explanation:

B) This sentence and the warrior's reaction came after he was inquired as to whether he has executed somebody. It is plainly obvious from the words alone that he experienced considerable difficulties discussing it, despite the fact that he asserted he didn't slaughter anybody. He just discussed it since he supposes that it appeared to be correct.

E) In this next sentence, we can tell that the warrior has been happy with portraying his encounters pre-war. From that point onward, he just couldn't wind up continuing for additional. This would let us know explicitly that they can't discover the fearlessness to really discuss the occasions that occurred in the war itself.
