B. finally
C. immediately.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Immediately.

Explanation:

The term "summarily hanged" denotes the immediate execution of the order or punishment. This means there is no delay in the carrying out of the order.

When the statement reads "any civilian caught interfering with the railroad . . . will be summarily hanged; the penalty will be carried out immediately." The immediate effect of the punishment without any delay in its execution is in correspondence with the phrase "summarily hanged".
