D) contains few adjectives and adverbs but many strong verbs and concrete nouns.Explanation: In the given excerpt from Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" we can see a clear example of Hemingway's typical style of writing, that is characterized by the use of many strong verbs and concrete nouns, but using just few (the necessary) adjectives and adverbs. In the excerpt he uses strong verbs like "listen" and "realize" and we can also see that the sentences are short with little modifiers

I would contend that the right answer is the D) It contains few adjectives and adverbs but many strong verbs and concrete nouns.Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that there are no abstract nouns, a large amount of punctuation, or a lack of verbs in this excerpt, so options A, B, and C can be discarded. The passage features just a few adjectives and adverbs—bad, crazy, afraid—but a significant amount of strong verbs (understand, talk, listen, realize, stop, make) and concrete nouns (people, we, war, auto-ambulance, officers), which help create more concise and precise sentences.
