Read the passage from chapter 1 of Animal Farm.

Unfortunately, the uproar awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang out of bed, making sure that there was a fox in the yard. He seized the gun which always stood in a corner of his bedroom, and let fly a charge of Number 6 shot into the darkness. The pellets buried themselves in the wall of the barn and the meeting broke up hurriedly. Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place. The birds jumped onto their perches, the animals settled down in the straw, and the whole farm was asleep in a moment.

Which detail from the passage best supports the idea that Mr. Jones is a reckless farmer?

“the uproar awoke Mr. Jones, who sprang out of bed”
“Everyone fled to his own sleeping-place.”
“making sure that there was a fox in the yard”
“let fly a charge of Number 6 shot into the darkness
