Which part of this passage is a flashback?
A. The last two sentences.
B. The first four sentences.
C. The fifth and sixth sentences.
The passage:
1) When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. 2) She knew about the war; she knew I’d been a soldier. 3) “You keep writing these war stories,” she said, “so I guess you must’ve killed somebody.” 4) It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, “Of course not,” and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. 5) Someday, I hope, she’ll ask again. 6) But here I want to pretend she’s a grown–up. 7) I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. 8) This is why I keep writing war stories.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold when yellow leaves, or none, or few do hang upon those boughs which shake against the cold, bare ruined choirs, where late the sweet birds sang in me thou sees the twilight of such day as after sunset fadeth in the west; which by and by black night doth take away, death's second self that seals up all in rest. in me thou seest the glowing of such fire that on the ashes of his youth doth lie, as the deathbed whereon it must expire, consumed with that which it was nourished by. this thou perceiv'st, which makes thy love more strong, to love that well, which thou must leave ere long. the first stanza compares the leafless limbs of a tree to a.yellow leaves b.sweet birds c.bare choirs d.summer
