Final answer:

Siegfried Sassoon's poetry reveals his critical view of war, dismissing its glorification and highlighting the soldiers' suffering and poor treatment during World War I.

Explanation:

The perspective of Siegfried Sassoon on warfare, as reflected in his poetry, is one of deep criticism and anti-heroism. Sassoon, who served in World War I, became vehemently opposed to the war and its perceived glorification. Through his vivid and stark portrayals of life in the trenches and the plight of soldiers, he shatters any notions of war being heroic.

He saw the soldiers as victims of the war's brutal realities, subject to suffering and exploitation, rather than being treated with the dignity they deserved. Sassoon's poetry conveys a sense of disillusionment and betrayal, emphasizing the physical and psychological traumas that soldiers faced.

excerpt from "Marie Curie and the Discovery of Radioactivity" by Mara Rockliff

To the Austrian mine owners who had sent the pitchblende ore, it was just dirt. After all, they had already taken out the valuable part—the metallic element called uranium—and dumped what was left over in a nearby pine forest. If a pair of eccentric French scientists wanted them to scoop up the worthless stuff and ship it, the mine owners were happy to oblige.

But Marie and Pierre Curie knew the secret of the dull brown ore. Hidden deep within it was a new chemical element. No one, the Curies included, had ever seen this element. Still, the husband-and-wife team had given it a name: radium. And Marie was determined to prove radium was real.

It could be inferred that the word eccentric in the text means "odd."

Both petroleum and coal are made up of complex carbon-based molecules, and both originated with living creatures of some kind. Both are vital sources of energy for the modern world and both were formed by geologic processes over millions of years. However, petroleum was mainly formed from the remains of ocean-dwelling microorganisms. Coal, on the other hand, originated from decayed vegetation in ancient swamps and bogs. In any case, it took millions of years for both coal and oil to be produced. This is the case because it took that much time for overlying sediments to produce the unimaginable heat and pressure that would one day allow us to harvest these energy resources. What is one clue word or phrase in the passage that indicates a contrast? A. In any case B. Both C. However D. Because

Fade far away, dissolve, and quite forget
What thou among the leaves hast never known,
The weariness, the fever, and the fret
Here, where men sit and hear each other groan;
Where palsy shakes a few, sad, last gray hairs,
Where youth grows pale, and spectre-thin, and dies;
Where but to think is to be full of sorrow
And leaden-eyed despairs,
Where Beauty cannot keep her lustrous eyes,
Or new Love pine at them beyond to-morrow.
