Answer:
"That afternoon I was sent out again to sell some goods to the soldiers. "
Explanation:
All but one are said in the first narrative, so you can rule the last one out. I believe this one is the answer, as it mentions the narrator being sent somewhere to sell to soldiers, which means that he is a merchant, or believed to be one.
I believe that the last option (As for this city's government, I don't want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer . . . I think I'll see women handle the ballot.) correctly uses ellipsis to shorten Mark Twain’s words from the speech “Votes for Women”. I think that this answer looks most sensible and shows the main idea of the speech in the right form. The answer to your question is D. I hope that this is the answer that you were looking for and it has helped you.
