The correct answer is: Option A. Adopt the horses.


Given the context in the excerpt stating the individuals that would be "taking possession of the new horses" are official U.S. Marines, it can be inferred that this practice will take place within legal bounds, and therefore "stealing the horses" is out of context in this case. The intent of this activity is to use the horses as part of the Marines' activities, and as such, it is clear the Marines are planning to "adopt" the horses, not "borrow" them.

schepotkina [342]
<span>This is situational irony so the answer is B. Verbal would be if there was sarcasm involved since verbal means that you mean opposite of what you say. Situational is when one thing is expected and another thing occurs. Dramatic is when the characters don't know what is happening but the audience does.</span>
