Read this excerpt from The People Could Fly.

Finally, I did get across. Late one night me and my wife went. I had gone back to the plantation to get her. Mr. Rankins had
him a bell by this time, along with the light. We were rowin and rowin. We could see the light and hear that bell, but it
seemed we weren't getting any closer. It took forever, it seemed. That was because we were so scared and it was so dark
and we knew we could get caught and never get gone.
Which statement best describes the speaker's viewpoint of his escape?
He is nervous that Mr. Rankins will make him go back.
He is terrified that he will get caught crossing the river.
He is worried that he will have to leave without his wife.
He is doubtful that he will be free after he crosses the river.
