following sentences from the story best supports this statement?

A "As they halted, waiting for the rest of the troops to catch up, the one who seemed to be

B "He advanced toward the house, and Nate could see the lines of fatigue crossing his brow

and the silver hair around his deeply tanned face."

C "'Boy,' the soldier said, 'My men need food and shelter for the night.'"

D "'Then maybe you could get your Pa to speak with me,' the man said quietly, as if

remembering discarded manners."
