Answer:

C

Explanation:

Even if we don't know the meaning of the word mercenaries, we have a context clue in the form of a synonym/restatement, which is "hired professional soldiers," i.e., the very definition of what a mercenary is. The fact that the noun phrase "hired professional soldiers" follows "mercenaries" after a comma and is in plural form too helps find this context clue.

The reader moves from a list in lines 1-10 and then moves into the author's personal experience of tachycardia. This engages the reader because it is immediately interesting, and the reader wants to continue reading to find out how this attack connects to the larger theme of nature.

Furthermore, the language Oates uses features clear imagery -- we can easily imagine her lying there, on the ground. The effect is a powerful one and immediately interesting to the reader.
