The author of Catch-22 was probably MOST influenced by

a. a dreadful fear of not being the best at everything.

b. a fascination with bomber aircraft.

c. his disdain for bureaucracies.

d. the loss of his first love.

his disdain for bureaucracies

Explanation:

"Catch-22" is a novel written by Joseph Heller, an American novelist and playwright. This novel was meant to portray a disdain for bureaucracies, which was very popular in the 1960s. It shows a self-refuting idea about what is considered a common sense or valid in bureaucracy.

As stated in "A Catchy Phrase," "Yossarian" was a bombardier who was afraid to die, however, he has to follow the military regulation that they should not avoid combat missions. So, this highlights the standard operating procedures that bombardiers have to follow. It shows a self-defeating idea, since both ideas do not coincide with each other. He can just say "no" if he didn't want to and that would consider him as sane. Nevertheless, he needed to do his job because he was working as a bombardier, so this makes him crazy.

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.
