The answer is C. 1,2,5 plato

In section 2 of "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" by Ambrose Bierce, the narrator uses a flashback instead of proceeding with the events taking place to depict the cunningness of the Federal soldier. In the first section, Peyton Farquhar is on a railroad bridge twenty feet above the water. His wrists are tied on his back and in his neck, there is a noose. He is surrounded by soldiers of the Northern army. His execution is going to take place very soon. In section 2, the narrator introduces Farquhar using a flashback to tell us that he is a planter devoted to the Southern cause. One afternoon a gray-clad soldier rodes to his house and asks for water. This soldier, pretending to be from the Southern army leads Farquhar into a trap. We learn afterwards that he is in disguise.
