Answer:

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

D would the best answer.

New York is a nice place, but for some, more risks are shown to them. Young boys, children, from rough backgrounds, face a danger that others don’t. Boys face the risk of becoming something worse in a place that is supposed to make them better, facing bigger problems in the prejudice world. If these boys are to take a risk, or even a chance, they have all the odds against them. Because of not who they are, but of what they are seen as. Making these young boys, boys that did nothing, are made into what they are seen as. This is what Rios is saying about the lives of young boys in New York.
