Which short story includes the line about an enemy who looks different in appearance, hinting at suspicion in wartime?

• A. The Scarlet Letter
• B. The Baby Party
• C. Old Man at the Bridge
• D. The Enemy

Answer: (D)

This question tests recognizing a wartime theme: suspicion based on appearance and the fear that the enemy may not be easy to identify. In The Enemy, the narrative centers on how war inflames distrust and leads characters to scrutinize appearances for signs of danger. The line about an enemy who looks different in appearance highlights that threat can come from someone who doesn’t fit a simple stereotype, underscoring the tension and moral pressure of wartime decisions.

The other stories don’t hinge on that moment of appearance-based suspicion. The Scarlet Letter is set in a Puritan society and explores sin and social judgment; The Baby Party is a domestic coming‑of‑age scene; Old Man at the Bridge, while set in a war context, focuses on the humaneness and practical concerns of one elderly refugee rather than the idea that enemies may disguise themselves by looking different.
