Question

Read the excerpt from “Drummer Man.”

It turned out to be a good thing that I signed on again. It wasn’t long into my second year when our regiment fought at the Siege of Corinth. In the heat of the fight, we made a desperate charge across a ravine and Captain Williamson was wounded. So the call came in for a quick retreat, but unfortunately, the captain was left there between the lines. Somebody had to rescue him, and it was one of two times during the war that I was happy for being small. I took off in a stooping run, unseen by the enemy, and somehow found the strength to drag Williamson back to the stretcher-bearers and out of harm’s way.

Based on the excerpt, how does the narrator’s size affect his experiences?

A: It leads to him getting wounded.
B: It helps him to get rescued.
C: It leads to him being a stretcher bearer.
D: It helps him save his captain.

Answer 1

The answer should be D.

Step-by-step explanation:

100%

Answer 2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm pretty sure its D. It cant be A because he didn't get wounded, it cant be B because the narrator never got rescued, the Captain did, and it wont make sense if it was C because he BROUGHT the captain back to the stretch bearers, not him being one. So most logical answer is D
