b. "Ambush" talks of a soldier who can't share his feelings with his daughter but hopes to someday, while "Symptoms" deals with soldiers who have lost all memories of the worst experiences of war.

Explanation: The theme differs in the two excerpts because in "Ambush" the narrator talks of a soldier who remembers having killed someone but does not want to share those memories with her daughter at the moment of speech because she is a nine-year-old. He will share his experiences with her when she is a grown-up, though. In "Symptoms" the narrator states that soldiers remember some events but cannot recall their worst experiences.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
