He unclosed his eyes and saw again the water below him. “If I could free my hands,” he thought, “I might throw off the noose and

spring into the stream. By diving I could evade the bullets and, swimming vigorously, reach the bank, take to the woods and get away home. My home, thank God, is as yet outside their lines; my wife and little ones are still beyond the invader’s farthest advance.”
As these thoughts, which have here to be set down in words, were flashed into the doomed man’s brain rather than evolved from it the captain nodded to the sergeant. The sergeant stepped aside.

Answer:

The execution will begin.

Explanation:

In these lines, we are never actually told that an execution is about to take place. However, we can assume this from the details in the excerpt. The man tells us that he wants to free his hands. He also tells us that a noose is waiting for him, and that he is planning to scape. Towards the end of the paragraph, we learn that the captain nodded and the sergeant stepped aside, which most likely indicates that the execution will begin.

[ANSWER FOR BRAINLEST]
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

A) Summarize the author's ideas, give credit where due.

Explanation:

When writing an essay it's important that you give credit to the author of your cited source, for example (Timothy, 20). If you don't its considered plagiarism since you copied it directly but didn't announce that you did.

You could- B) Avoid discussing the author's ideas. But that wouldn't get you any information.

You could- C) Quote the author directly, but don't tell where the quote came from. But you'd be stealing information aka plagiarism.

You could- D) Discuss the author's ideas, but phrase them differently while refraining from mentioning the author by name. But your pretty much repeating what they said, which is still plagiarism considering your teacher may or may not ask for the source and look through it.

A allows you to summarize the author's ideas and when due, cite your evidence if directly quoting.
