Answer:
Farquhar will attempt to tamper with the bridge.
Step-by-step explanation:
An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge
by Ambrose Bierce tells us a story about Peyton Farquhar, planter, devoted to Southern( Confederate) army. In this excerpt we learn about an unknown passenger, who was Northern (Federal) scout disguised in Confederate soldier, passing by Farquhar`s house. They engage in an informal talk in which Farquhar finds out that a bridge not so far away is being repaired along with the railroad by Northern army. The man acknowledges that it is forbidden to be around it or worse trying to sabotage Northern army and that the person who dares to do that will be hung. So knowing Farquhar`s commitment to Southern army and this a little obvious questioning the passenger, we can assume that he has some malicious plans.
