Answer 4

Why don't you just read the book? It's not like the questions are asking for any analytical ability.

1. Henry picks up a soldier with a hernia (he calls it a "'rupture"). The soldier confesses he threw away his truss (support for the hernia) to worsen his condition, but the captain doctor at his regiment will be able to figure this out. He thinks that if he gets an operation, he will be put back in combat again.

2. The war is simply an adventure to Frederick Henry; he’s there just because it’s something to do

3. A vase of red roses

4. They are secretly lovers
