Option 2: "The famous work of Ernest Hemingway-A Farewell to Arms-describes the Italian campaign after the First World War."

Explanation: This option is correct because the text mentions that the novel describes the Italian campaign during the First World War. However, it is misleading as it states 'after the First World War,' which is not accurate according to the text.

Option 1: "As one of the best literary works of Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms was published in the late 1920s."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that A Farewell to Arms was published in 1929, which is indeed in the late 1920s. Therefore, this statement is true.

Option 3: "In addition to the love story, Hemingway also mentions about how absurd war is and how he loses his love."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because while the text does mention the absurdity of war and the loss of love, it does not explicitly state that Hemingway 'mentions about' these themes in a way that implies they are separate from the love story. The phrasing makes it seem like these are distinct topics rather than intertwined.

Option 4: "People now can enjoy the work on screen, TV and stage."

Explanation: This option is incorrect because the text states that the novel was adapted to screen, television, and stage several times, indicating that it is indeed available for enjoyment in those formats.
