Once upon a time there was a child, who had always wanted to be president of the United States of America. He grew up in a very humble family and with few resources, he didn't have the possibility of studying, but nevertheless he attended the schools and watched the classes through the window. Without realizing it, he got many contacts because he had an incredible personality, and reached unimaginable political positions. currently he postulated for presidency, and never imagined that his life would take that course. He just got lucky in the way.
The answer that best completes the statement above is the second option. Regarding the strong connection and attachment that Major Ballou has to for his family, his service as a soldier can be described as an act of PATRIOTISM. Hope this answer helps.
