The sentence shows that only a small part of the original troop survived, as shown in the second answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

The text shows how the army is frustrated, due to the large number of losses it has suffered.

These losses refer to the number of soldiers who died during the battle.

The few soldiers who survived had to retreat in a grim, sad, and sullen way, as the poem presents.

This question is about the poem "A March in the Hard-Prest Ranks, and the Road Unknown."
