In "the return of a private" Hamlin Garland writes that the tenderness between Edward and Emma smith "found utterance in tones rather than words." The clearest example of this question comes when.

A. Edward asks what happened to his beloved dog.

B. Edward praises Emma by praising her biscuits.

C. Edward decides to sleep on the train station bench rather than the hotel.

D. Edward tells Emma how he loves her and missed her terribly.

Correct answer choice is:

C) Edward decides to sleep on the train station bench rather than the hotel.

Explanation:

The Return of a Private start on a train from New Orleans taking Northern ex-soldier back to the Midwest. They are with the last to leave the South, illness and injuries paused their departure until August. Only four or five are left to get off the subway at LaCrosse. One of them, Private Edward Smith, still endures from fever and ague. It is two o’clock in the morning, and preferably than use their money on a hotel room, Smith and two nationals choose to bed down in the train station.

The best answer for this statement would be:

C. Edward decides to sleep on the train station bench rather than the hotel.

It depicts a deeper connection between the two characters, when one gives up the comfort of his own liability for the other person.
