Answer:

B. "harshest, most miserable winter in memory" and "Valley Forge would be the end of me"

D. "musket was full, but my water skin was empty" and "the general and our Continental Army"

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Beatrice, she thinks the story takes place during the American Revolution because of the mention of Valley Forge, the harsh winter, the general, and finally, the Confederate Army.

The American Revolution is a period in American history when the colonists revolted against Great Britain and gained independence before going ahead to form the United States of America.
