The first half of "The War Prayer" supports Twain's rhetorical goal by: A. using a solemn tone that lays the groundwork for a serious and detailed proposal for getting out of the war,
B. pointing out the hypocrisy of the prayer, which reflects Twain's own opinions of the public conversations about war.
C. taking on a flippant and sarcastic tone, similar to Twain's attitude toward the concept of "war prayers."
D. skipping over the realities of war in the name of patriotism, which shows how Twain feels about public conversations regarding war.
