Answer 1

Answer:

The option that describes the best the quotation is:

D) It suggests that Farquhar may be alive.

Explanation:

In this scene, we can observe that Peyton fell from a bridge that caused big damage to him. So much he fainted and believed he was dead. However, he awakened late. After a big amount of time has passed, based on the condition of his throat, providing him a sensation close to suffocation. meaning that he could be alive after the all. We have no evidence to say he was going to take down his captors or was guilty of the crime, as well as to say he didn't survive a hanging because the text doesn't say he was hanged.

Answer 2

B) It suggests that Farquhar will overtake his captors
