Answer:C. The visitor left his stick behind.
Explanation:
Your question is referring to the excerpt from ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock is describing his visitor at the beginning of the first chapter.
''Mr. Sherlock Holmes, who was usually very late in the mornings, save upon those not infrequent occasions when he stayed up all night, was seated at the breakfast table. I stood upon the hearth-rug and picked up the stick which our visitor had left behind him the night before.''
After that, Sherlock picks up the stick and read what is written on it and then he is asking Watson about his opinion on it.
He was considered as the absent-minded because he left something with his name and evidence that is showing that he was there. If he was aware, he would not do that. In that way, Sherlock got all information about him.
These lines are spoken by a captain who has been wounded in the war. He is relaying the information about Macbeth's brave fight against the enemy to King Duncan. He talks about how brave and valiant Macbeth was, so the audience can infer that he is a fierce warrior who will stop at nothing to ensure his win in a battle.
Yes this sentence it correct, except there should not be a space between table and the period. :)
