The lines from "In Another Country" by Ernest Heminhway, that contribute to the mood of apathy to the story are, "One day I had said that Italian seemed such an easy
language to me that I could not take a great interest in it; everything
was so easy to say. "Ah, yes," the major said.
Mainly because apathy is mainly the indifference and that is what these lines contain.
Hope I helped! If you need more help or would like further explanation just let me know!! :)
