Which sentence from the passage best explains what
martial law is?
Read the passage from "Part of the Stew."
Luckily, Major General Andrew Jackson arrived before
the whole town boiled over. We knew right away that he
was serious about maintaining order, because he put us
all under martial law. Anyone on the streets past 9:00
p.m. could be arrested. In addition, all men able to bear
arms were put into service. As a fourteen-year-old, I
was too young to serve, but my Pa suddenly became an
army man. On the eighth of the month, Jackson held a
grand review of the new troops, and the whole town
turned out to see them. I was mighty proud when my Pa
fell into line with Antonio the grocer, Hans from the
Shipyard, and Miguel our neighbor

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

B). Anyone on the streets past 9:00 p.m. could be arrested.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given excerpt from 'Part of the Stew' discusses the time of disturbance and therefore, Major General Andrew Jackson has arrived to review the troops and their preparation ('able to wear troops') for the battle to be carried forward the next day.

In the above context of war situation, the second option clearly reveals and substantiates that martial law chiefly asserts that 'no one is allowed to get out on the streets after the specific time i.e. 9:00 PM and if one is found, he/she could be arrested at once by the troops.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.
