help me Beatrice goes shopping at her local book store for something new to read. She plucks a book off the shelf, flips it open
, and reads the following excerpt:“It was the harshest, most miserable winter in memory. I was certain Valley Forge would be the end of me and my fellow soldiers. My musket was full, but my water skin was empty. One man’s shoes had been worn down to nothing during the march. He tied cowhides to his feet. But on he marched for the general and our Continental Army. I admired his conviction. I ignored the biting cold and continued on.”Beatrice believes the story is set during the American Revolution. Which two pieces of textual evidence from the excerpt support her conclusion?A.“admired his conviction” and “ignored the biting cold and continued on”B.“harshest, most miserable winter in memory” and “Valley Forge would be the end of me”C.“shoes had been worn down to nothing during the march” and “He tied cowhides to his feet”D.“musket was full, but my water skin was empty” and “the general and our Continental Army”
D) musket was full, but my water skin was empty” and “the general and our Continental Army”
Explanation:
All of these do you help you figure out this may not be set in modern times, it is D that confirms it is set during the American Revolution. First off the the Continental army was the army of the Americans in the Revolution so that alone tells you the time period and second off they used muskets in the war.
Although the ' ignored the biting cold and continued on' and “shoes had been worn down to nothing during the march” does describe the war very well, it does not confirm it, it could anything, a story of of the trail of tears for example. Only D tells you who is marching, which are the soldiers in the Revolution
The two pieces of textual evidence from the excerpt that support her conclusion are “musket was full, but my water skin was empty” and “the general and our Continental Army”
Explanation:
The text talks about one of the kinds of weapons that were used during the American Revolution, when it says that the musket was full is about all the combats he has used it into and all the men that have died with it, then the general of the Continental Army was the army that resulted after the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War.
I think the sentence that best supports this is "I will advise you and direct you. I should not be a man if this womanly helplessness did not just give you a double attractiveness in my eyes."
