Answer:
The man was about to be hanged.
Explanation:
Ambrose Bierce's short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" tells the story of how a convicted man was about to be hanged on the railroad bridge. The man, Peyton Farquhar, was a plantation farmer who was accused of trying to burn down the bridge during the Civil War.
The lines/ excerpt given in the question is from the first paragraph of the story which shows Peyton waiting for his death. The author/ speaker of the story is describing the scene and setting of the story, the exact point where we see Peyton (yet unnamed) waiting for the rope to be pulled which will finalize his death.
The correct answer is the second one.

B
Explanation:
The main idea is to present the feelings the person had before amazon became what it is today. I had my own misgivings about ordering on line until I realized that I really had no choice. I live in a small community of about 800 people. There is a Walmart in the next town over (which has a population of 5000), but I'm not fond of what they did to small businesses.
So the choice was shop at a place I don't like or order through the mail. I didn't really make up my mind until about 2 years ago. Then it was fine.
The author of what you quoted had many of the same feelings. It's a gamble putting money where the system can be broken into and that is what this is all about -- fear of trying something you don't trust.
The answer is B, I think
