Why does Bierce use a flashback in section 2 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" instead of proceeding with the events taking
place? 1.to introduce Peyton Farquhar
2.to emphasize the folly of romanticism
3.to depict the cunningness of the Federal soldiers
4.to emphasize the naivety of the Confederacy
5.to help the reader know what led to the events in section 1
a.1, 2, 3
b.3, 4, 5
c.1, 2, 5
d.2, 3, 5
e.1, 4, 5
Peyton is only introduced in the beginning of Section 2, which leads you to understand what is happening on Section 1. It also shows how miserable Peyton Farquhar is in that situation.
Change ''Ranches'' to ''ranch'' and ''gallops'' to ''gallop.''
The complete sentence would be ''Horses from the ranch gallop in the nearby fields.'' If this is is a one choice only question i'd go with changing ''Gallops'' To ''Gallop''. hope this helped
