Step-by-step explanation of the answer is:
To answer this question, we need to identify which of the four statements is false according to the chapter. We also need to explain why it is false with reference to the text. 📖
- A statement is false if it contradicts or does not match the information given in the chapter. It is true if it agrees or corresponds with the information given in the chapter. 🙃
- In this chapter, Pearl S. Buck tells us about Sadao, a Japanese doctor who operated on an American soldier in his own house during World War II. She also tells us about his wife Hana, whom he met in America, and his plan to help the soldier escape. 🩺🗡️
- We can use the following steps to identify and explain which statement is false: ✍️
- Read each statement carefully and compare it with the information given in the chapter. 🧐
- If the statement matches or agrees with the information given in the chapter, then it is true. If not, then it is false. 😊😠
- Write a sentence that states which statement is false and why it is false. Use evidence from the text to support your answer. 📝
- Check your answer for grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors. Make sure it is clear and concise. ✅
- Using these steps, we can write the following answer: 🖊️
- B) Sadao was sent to fight in the World War.
This statement is false because Sadao was not sent to fight in the World War. He was a doctor who stayed in Japan and worked as a professor and a surgeon. The chapter says: “He had not gone to war because he was a surgeon and he had been trained in America” (Buck 1).
