问题     Battles are like marriages. They have a certain fundamental experience they share in common; they differ infinitely, but still they are all alike. A battle seems to me a conflict of will with death in the same way that a marriage of love is the identification of two human beings to the end of creation of life--as death is the reverse of life, and love of hate. Battles are commitments to cause death as marriages are commitments to create life. Whether, for any individual, either union results in death or in the creation of life, each risks it--and in the risk commits himself.
    As the servants of death, battles will always remain horrible. Those who are fascinated by them are being fascinated by death. There is no battle aim worthy of the name except that of ending all battles. Any other conception is, literally, suicidal. The fascist worship of battle is a suicidal drive; it is love of death instead of life.
    In the same idiom, to triumph in battle over the forces which are fighting for death is-- again literally--to triumph over death. It is a surgeon’s triumph as he cuts a body and bloodies his hands in removing a cancer in order to triumph over death that is in the body.
    In these thoughts I have found my own peace, and I return to an army that fights death and cynicism in the name of life and hope. It is a good army. Believe in it.
The article says that the individual, in battle and in marriage, must ______.
选项 A、make a union
B、compromise his beliefs
C、take the risks he has committed himself to
D、recognize that death is the reverse of life
答案C
解析 文章说，无论是参战的人还是结婚的人都必须承担他为之付出的风险。第一段最后两句说，正如婚姻的义务是创造生命那样，战争的义务就是导致死亡。一个人，无论是为了创造生命还是为了导致死亡，都冒着一定的风险。
