Question
the following passage is set during the american civil war. select the best evidence to support the statement \peyton farquhar is frustrated that he could not enlist in the confederate army.\ there may be more than one correct choice.
peyton farquhar was a wealthy planter of an old and highly respected alabama family. being a slave owner and, like other slave owners, a politician, he was an original secessionist and ardently devoted to the southern cause. circumstances of an imperious nature had prevented him from taking service with that army which had fought the disastrous campaigns ending with the fall of corinth, and he chafed under the inglorious restraint, longing for the release of his energies, the opportunity for distinction. that opportunity, he felt, would come, as it comes to all in wartime. meanwhile, he did what he could. no service was too humble for him to perform in the aid of the south, no adventure too perilous for him to undertake if consistent with the character of a civilian who was at heart a soldier.
adapted from ambrose bierce, \an occurrence at owl creek\
The key - phrase "he chafed under the inglorious restraint" shows his frustration. He was prevented from enlisting and longed for the opportunity to serve and gain distinction. His eagerness to do any service for the South and undertake any adventure also implies his dissatisfaction with not being able to be a soldier.
