Will could hardly swallow the plate of ham and eggs that the innkeeper brought him. This man, too, gave him a keen look that did nothing to relieve his uneasiness. Could he be the Mr. Coleman of whom his father had spoken? It didn’t seem so from the way he scowled. He didn’t look friendly at all.

As soon as Will had finished, he laid a coin on the table and stole out the door. Once astride his mare, he turned her head toward the woods.

“That’s not the road to Williamsburg,” a voice growled from the doorway.

The boy looked down to meet the scowling eyes of his enemy. “I was only getting my bearings. I know the road to Williamsburg.”

He galloped off in the opposite direction of the one he wanted to take. York must wait with the horses. Will hoped with all his heart that the boy would remain hidden in the woods.

Based on the details in the excerpt, which inference can be made?

A Will must change his plans to be sure he does not lead the soldiers to the hidden horses.

B Will intends to go all the way to Williamsburg to make certain the soldiers do not find York.

C Will wants to ride away as far as possible to avoid further mistreatment from the soldiers.

D Will pretends to be confused to make the soldiers believe he is not bright enough to transport horses.

He leaned his head against the wall; his eyes were shut, his hands clasped in each other, and his body seemed to be sustained in an upright position merely by the cellar-door against which he rested his left shoulder. the lethargy into which he was sunk seemed scarcely interrupted by my feeling his hand and his forehead. his throbbing temples and burning skin indicated a fever . . there was only one circumstance that hindered me from forming an immediate determination in what manner this person should be treated. my family consisted of my wife and a young child. our servant-maid had been seized, three days before, by the reigning malady, and, at her own request, had been conveyed to the hospital. we ourselves enjoyed good health, and were hopeful of escaping with our lives. our measures for this end had been cautiously taken and carefully adhered to. they did not consist in avoiding the receptacles of infection, for my office required me to go daily into the midst of them; nor in filling the house with the exhalations of gunpowder, vinegar, or tar. they consisted in cleanliness, reasonable exercise, and wholesome diet. who is the story’s first-person narrator
