Question

refer to explorations in literature for a complete version of this story. which quotation from “a horseman in the sky” shows how carter druze advances the plot of the story? “nevertheless, fatigue had been stronger than resolution, and he had fallen asleep.” “so carter druse, bowing reverently to his father,... left the home of his childhood to go soldiering.” “this courageous gentleman and hardy soldier was near swooning from intensity of emotion.” “the sleeping sentinel in the clump of laurel was a young virginian named carter druse.”

Explanation:

The act of leaving home to become a soldier sets the story in motion and drives the plot forward. The other quotes either describe a state (sleeping, emotional state) or introduce the character in a static way.

Answer:

"So Carter Druse, bowing reverently to his father,... left the home of his childhood to go soldiering."
