Question

In “Ambush,” which sentence best reflects the idea that O’Brien is more concerned with emotional truth than factual truth?

Answer 1

I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening.

Answer 2

When we read "Ambush" we soon realize that it is quite true what one might suspect about O'Brien when we read about him - the fact that indeed he always seemed to wanted to hear emotional truth more than he did factual truth. There are multiple sentences which indicate this, but most commonly these are sentences when he starts talking and conceptualizing events in terms of their meaning, how they affected someone and how someone felt while they happened.
