Final answer:
The made-up word 'Voertsed' likely signifies a violent or agitated movement, similar to 'Jump away violently,' which is consistent with the actions of the horse, Wrangle, in the given excerpt (option B).
Step-by-step explanation:
The term Voertsed does not have a standard meaning in the English language. It appears to be a made-up word, potentially used in a work of fiction. However, based on the context provided from the excerpt, Voertsed seems to imply a violent or agitated movement. When Wrangle, the giant sorrel, is described, it is with the use of phrases like 'plunged about,' 'broke from Venters,' and 'fought the rope,' indicating a wild and uncontrolled action.
Therefore, the meaning of Voertsed closest to the context provided would be Option B: 'Jump away violently.' In the provided text, Wrangle's actions reflect the behaviors associated with jumping away or reacting violently.
Hence, the answer is option B.
