Which TWO common themes of war literature are reflected in this excerpt? If in some smothering dreams you too could pace
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest
To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
(Wilfred Owen, "Dulce Et Decorum Est")

A) bitterness at the massive loss of life caused by war
B) Danger at the ignorance of civilians and leaders at home
C) the innocence and ignorance of enlisted soldiers
D) anger at the government for lying to enlisted youth
E) the pain of those left at home waiting for the soldiers
