Question

while longstreet was holding this position, a scout, more properly a spy, was placed at his service by the war department. his time seemed to be passed about equally within our lines and the enemys. harrison (such was his name) always brought us true information. there was always confirmation of his reports afterwards.

while one is always suspicious that such spies give away as much as they bring and may be in the pay of both sides, it was difficult to be sure of this in harrisons case. he went everywhere, even through stantons war office at washington itself, and brought in much. we never discovered that he sold anything against us; besides, we verified his account of himself as coming from mississippi.

Brief Explanations

The excerpt states Harrison always brought true, verified information, and there was no evidence he sold secrets against them. This shows Sorrel had trust in him as a spy. The other options are incorrect: there is no mention of amusement, and it says Harrison brought "much" information, so the claim of little information is false.

Answer:

Sorrel trusted Harrison as a spy.
