The correct answer is B) "he had drunk the poison."
The word that tells you that Socrates faced death bravely is "he had drunk the poison."
Socrates, the great ancient Greece philosopher, had to make the hard decision of drinking the poison that would kill him. He was condemned to death on 399 BC after being found guilty of the charge of impiety and corrupting his students with his ideas. Athens in that time had been defeated by Sparta in the Peloponnesian wars and the city-state was controlled by men that saw a threat in the ideas of Socrates. However, he will always be remembered for his contributions to western philosophy and for having taught Plato.
