Question

We parked the cars beyond the brickyard. The ovens and some deep holes had been equipped as dressing stations. There were three doctors that I knew. I talked with the major and learned that when it should start and our cars should be loaded we would drive them back along the screened road and up to the main road along the ridge where there would be a post and other cars to clear them. Which best describes Hemingway’s style of writing in the excerpt?

He simply narrates the position of cars, ovens and deepholes with simplicity and precision.

The conversation between the major and the narrator is presented in a straightforward manner by describing how the cars would be taken out on the street.
