Choose all of the lines from the passage that express the theme of the false allure of war. What lines should I choose?

From his home his youthful eyes had looked upon the war in his own country with distrust.

Tales of great movements shook the land.

His busy mind had drawn for him large pictures extravagant in color, lurid with breathless deeds.

Almost every day the newspaper printed accounts of a decisive victory.

This voice of the people rejoicing in the night had made him shiver in a prolonged ecstasy of excitement.

Later, he had gone down to his mother's room and had spoken thus: "Ma, I'm going to enlist."
