Number two is wrong

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

1). Deception is a side effect of war.

This because on both of Guy´s short stories, he talks about how the innocence of women can mislead and deceive the enemy forces;

3). War affects women as profoundly as men.

Since the negative effects of war can can alter the women's brain due the post traumatic stress and deteriorate their behavior.

Answer 2

Answer: 1) Deception is often a side effect of war and 3) War affects women as profoundly as it affects men.

Explanation: In both excerpts, we see how war has made women become as murderous as soldiers can be, and how they use deception as a weapon, tricking others into a false sense of safeness. Options 3 and 5 are discarded because these women are not portrayed as the victims in these excerpts, while option 4 is not suggested in any way.
