Question

His neck was in pain and lifting his hand to it found it horribly swollen. He knew that it had a circle of black where the rope had bruised it. His eyes felt congested; he could no longer close them. His tongue was swollen with thirst; he relieved its fever by thrusting it forward from between his teeth into the cold air. How softly the turf had carpeted the untraveled avenue—he could no longer feel the roadway beneath his feet! Based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction? Farquhar will find someone to help him. Farquhar’s quest to see his family will be successful. Farquhar’s escape is a fantasy or a dream. Farquhar will be pursued by the Northern soldiers.

Answer 1

Answer:

Farquhar will find someone to help him.

Explanation:

This is the most reasonable plot prediction. In this passage, we learn that Farquhar is injured, and needs urgent medical care. We learn that his neck is swollen, his eyes are congested and he is extremely thirsty. He will probably be unable to complete his journey on his own, which leads us to believe that Farquhar will find someone to help him.
