Read the excerpt from "Tools of the Spymaster." General Gates's troops held their ground. Benedict
Arnold, one of Gates's generals, argued for a
counterattack that would smash the British force.
Gates, outraged that Arnold would challenge his order,
took away his command. But the rash Arnold saw a
chance to strike a crucial blow. He galloped through the
crossfire of both armies, inspiring his men. A bullet
struck his leg, but he rode on, leading the final assault
that shattered the British fortifications. If he had died of
his wounds that day, Arnold would be remembered as
one of the great heroes of the Revolutionary War.
What evidence in the excerpt suggests that Benedict
Arnold was a brave soldier?
O He did not die from his wounds in the battle.
O General Gates took away his command.
O A bullet struck his leg when he crossed the
battlefield
He galloped through the crossfire of both armies.
