Answer:
The answer is B. bitter.
Explanation:
The mood of the poem is bitter because Wilfred Owen uses self-recrimination to show that he could do nothing to alleviate the pain of the suffering endured during the war. Wilfred Owen dwells on explicit details of horror and misery in order to maximise the impact he wishes to have on those who tell the ‘old Lie’.
The utilization of irony is depicted predominantly in the title of the poem, which further supports the bitter mood of the poem. The title of the poem indicates that the poem might be about the honor and glory of dying in war, but the speaker quickly reveal to the audience the dreadful actualities of what occurs in war. The speaker shows how young mean, some of whom are mere children and full of patriotic lies, are being sent into war to face the excruciating pain of a genuine war.
