Question

which detail from nurse and spy in the union army helps shape the central idea that finding ones way out of difficult situations takes cunning and bravery?
the writer describes how the enemy came after her and numerous saber strokes were aimed at her head.
the writer notes that she trusted in her resourcefulness to escape when forced to join the confederate army.
the writer states that, if she was caught again, she would consequently be hung up in the nearest tree.
the writer explains that after escaping the confederate army she turned her attention to more quiet and less dangerous duties.

Explanation:

The statement about trusting in her resourcefulness to escape when forced to join the Confederate Army shows both cunning (resourcefulness) and bravery (facing the difficult situation of being in the enemy - army). The other options either just describe danger or the aftermath of escape, not the act of getting out of a difficult situation with cunning and bravery.

Answer:

The writer notes that she "trusted in [her] resourcefulness to escape" when forced to join the Confederate Army
