Well, I couldn’t read all of it but I’ll give it my best guess.
5-outside by a barn or horse stable.
6- it has to be older. At least 1800 I assume because they are still using “sir”
7-a small brook in the woods
8- between 1800 and 1865 Bc they are enslaved people escaping.
I hope this helps a little bit!
I believe the answer is A because it uses a passive tense which is WAS
I think the answer is herself. I hope this helped! :)
