One central idea of the article is that many Samhain traditions live on in present-day celebrations.

Which two details BEST support the central idea above?

There, the Druids, who served as Celtic priests, would start a ritual bonfire. The light called on people across Ireland to gather and build bonfires of their own.
People were said to disguise themselves as spirits to fool real ones, which apparently sometimes involved dressing up in animal skins and, in Scotland, wearing white and veiling or blackening one's face.
A modern version of the holiday is still celebrated with bonfires throughout Ireland. The holiday of Samhain is also practiced by modern Wiccans.
Though modern Halloween deals with graveyards and the walking dead, a focus on one's own dearly departed is absent from the day.

Jungle Mischief
by L. Kenyi

Alexander pursued his older brothers through the thick vegetation of the jungle forest. "Hey wait! Where are you guys going?" Alexander hollered after Jonathan and Abraham who did not slow down or answer him. The older boys were faster and stronger than little Alexander, but he had more heart. He kept his sharp eyes focused on the moving plants in front of him, indications that his brothers had just rushed past. Alexander kept running until he discovered them below a tall acacia tree. They had lugged ropes, boards, nails, a hammer, and a large basket out to the tree.
"Hey, Alexander will fit in that basket," Abraham commented to Jonathan.
"No. It's not a good idea. Mom would have our hides if we did that," Jonathan replied.
"What are you guys talking about?" Alexander pestered them.
"Do you want to do something fun?" Abraham inquired mischievously.
"What?" Alexander was eager to participate in his older brothers' fun.
"We can lift you high in that tree if you sit in that basket. It will be great. Then, we'll send stuff up and you can start building a fort," Abraham explained.
"It looks sort of dangerous. I don't think I want to do it," Alexander said apprehensively.
"Are you chicken? I knew you wouldn't do it. You're not brave enough," Abraham jabbed at him.
"Just leave him alone. He said he doesn't want to," Jonathan defended Alexander.
"Well, I might," Alexander offered, working up his courage.
"I'll let you ride my dirt bike if you do it," Abraham bribed.
"Okay, but don't lift me too high up," Alexander agreed.
"Get in," Abraham ordered without acknowledging Alexander's condition.
"I don't know about this," Jonathan hesitated.
Abraham reassured him, "It will be fine."
Alexander sat in the large basket. One end of the rope was knotted around the handle of the basket and the other end was hanging over a very high tree branch. Alexander's brothers pulled the free end of the rope and easily lifted him and the basket.
"That's enough! Stop lifting me!" Alexander yelled down to them.
"Okay, we'll stop lifting you," Abraham smirked. The older boys stopped lifting the basket and tied the loose end of the rope around the trunk of the tree, leaving Alexander high above the ground.
"I want down! Get me down now!" Alexander screamed.
"Stay right there, we're just going to get a few more tools. We'll be right back," Abraham said amused at his prank. The older boys started walking away.
"Wait, guys! At least let me get to a branch. Then, send up some boards and the hammer and nails so I can start working on the fort," Alexander used his cunning.
"Okay, you might as well make yourself useful up there," Abraham remarked.
Jonathan lowered the basket to the nearest branch and held the rope steady while Alexander climbed out. Abraham lifted the supplies to Alexander and tied the rope again.
As soon as the two older brothers were gone, Alexander got busy nailing boards onto the tree. He had some difficulty, but he managed to stand on a branch and nail a board securely to the tree trunk. Then he moved down and nailed another board below it. Carefully, he worked his way down to the ground. Alexander was proud of the way he got himself down from the tree. He walked cheerfully back to his house imagining the surprised look on his brothers' faces when they found he was not in the tree and saw the ladder he had built.

Various veterans had told him tales. Some talked of gray, bewhiskered hordes who were advancing with relentless curses and chewing tobacco with unspeakable valor; tremendous bodies of fierce soldiery who were sweeping along like the Huns. Others spoke of tattered and eternally hungry men who fired despondent powders....
Still, he could not put a whole faith in veterans' tales, for recruits were their prey. They talked much of smoke, fire, and blood, but he could not tell how much might be lies. They persistently yelled "Fresh fish!" at him, and were in no wise to be trusted.
However, he perceived now that it did not greatly matter what kind of soldiers he was going to fight, so long as they fought, which fact no one disputed. There was a more serious problem. He lay in his bunk pondering upon it. He tried to mathematically prove to himself that he would not run from a battle.
Previously he had never felt obliged to wrestle too seriously with this question. In his life he had taken certain things for granted, never challenging his belief in ultimate success, and bothering little about means and roads. But here he was confronted with a thing of moment. It had suddenly appeared to him that perhaps in a battle he might run. He was forced to admit that as far as war was concerned he knew nothing of himself.
. . . .
He sprang from the bunk and began to pace nervously to and fro. "Good Lord, what's th' matter with me?" he said aloud.
He felt that in this crisis his laws of life were useless. Whatever he had learned of himself was here of no avail. He was an unknown quantity. He saw that he would again be obliged to experiment as he had in early youth. He must accumulate information of himself, and meanwhile he resolved to remain close upon his guard lest those qualities of which he knew nothing should everlastingly disgrace him.
