The soldier displayed exceptional courage and saved the Major from the enemy’s hand.

The correct answer is D. unusual.

The word “exceptional” means “very good or great,” while the words “new,” “strange,” and “abnormal” all mean “different from what is usual or

expected.” In this context, the soldier’s courage was unusual because it was not something that was expected of him. He displayed courage by risking his own life to save the Major, which is something that most people would not do.

The word “new” could be used to describe the soldier’s courage if he had never shown courage before, but in this case, it is clear that he has shown courage in the past. The

word “strange” could be used to describe the soldier’s courage if it was something that was not understood or could not be explained, but in this case, it is clear that the soldier’s courage was motivated by a desire to save the Major. The word “abnormal” could be used to describe the soldier’s courage if it was something that was not considered to be normal or healthy, but in this case, it is clear that the soldier’s courage was a positive thing.
