Brief Explanations:
- The text says "No one in Libby Prison hospital paid much attention" and "The Confederate guards had no idea" about her espionage. This implies that the guards were unaware of her spying.
- Option 1: Just because no one noticed her doesn't directly mean women in general were not viewed as capable. The passage focuses on her specific situation.
- Option 3: There is no mention of legality in the passage.
- Option 4: While it's a fact stated, it's not an inference. An inference is a conclusion drawn from the text, not a restatement of explicit information.

The guards at the prison did not know that Van Lew was spying.
