The lady had now brought the water, which the soldier drank. he her ceremoniously, bowed to her husband and rode away. an hour later, after nightfall, he repassed the plantation, going northward in the direction from which he had come. he was a federal scout. based on the excerpt, which is the most reasonable plot prediction? farquhar may unknowingly walk into a trap. farquhar will pursue the soldier from the north. farquhar and the soldier may engage in an altercation. farquhar and his wife will forget about the soldier.

Option A. Based on the excerpt, the most reasonable plot prediction is that Farquhar may unknowingly walk into a trap.

Explanation:

In this excerpt from "An occurrence at Owl-Creek Bridge" the scene describes how Farquhar and his wife meet with a federal scout at their plantation, who after drinking some water, continues his way. But later on Farquhar sees the same soldier going back to the direction that he previously came from. This, as mere of a detail as it may seems, is foreshadowing that Farquhar most likely had walked into a trap that this supposed confederate soldier set up for him, during their encounter.
