Answer:

The man was about to be hanged.

Explanation:

Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" tells the story of how a convicted man was about to be hanged on the railroad bridge. The man, Peyton Farquhar, was a plantation farmer who was accused of trying to burn down the bridge during the Civil War.

The lines/ excerpt given in the question is from the first paragraph of the story which shows Peyton waiting for his death. The author/ speaker of the story is describing the scene and setting of the story, the exact point where we see Peyton (yet unnamed) waiting for the rope to be pulled which will finalize his death.

bazaltina [42]
<span>The correct answer is A. The river is constantly changing. The author describes the Mississippi as fickle because it is not constant - you can never know when it is going to change, and whether that change will be for the better or for the worse. The word fickle means changeable, volatile, irregular. </span>
