The answer to this question is A. A character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire.
Explanation:
The excerpt focuses on the idea General Washington wanted to set the creek on fire. This is explained in "the river or creek...might be set on fire...and as General Washington had a mind to try the experiment". In this context, if a story is created using this information or context, it is expected the story focuses on how the creek is set on fire. Moreover, it is expected General Washington is the one that leads this action and that he gives orders to others to complete it. According to this, the correct answer is the first option.
The speaker in the raven:<span>The narrator of "The Raven" undergoes a range of emotions during his telling of the story. He begins the story in a sad mood because of the death of his love, Lenore; and in a heightened emotional state because of the gloomy literature he has been reading. He is somewhat frightened before realizing the true source of the tapping. At first he is curious to see that the noise he hears comes from a bird, and he seems happy to have some unexpected company in the middle of the night. When it rests upon the bust of the wise Pallas, the narrator considers that the bird, too, is "stately." To his amazement, he realizes that the bird's answer ("Nevermore") to his question makes sense. He becomes more startled at the bird's repeated answer; though it is always the same, the response seems to be a logical one. The narrator eventually becomes rattled; he "shrieked" at his guest. In the end, his view that the bird is infinitely wise causes him to believe tha its answers are in fact truth: That he can never recover from the grief he suffers for the lost Lenore
