Based on the rest of the passage, what does chief joseph probably imply when he states, "he who led on the young men is dead"?

There are no tribal leaders left.

Explanation:

I just took the test and the correct answer was: There are no tribal leaders left.

Here is the original passage:

Chief Joseph's Surrender Speech, October 5, 1877

by Chief Joseph

Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our Chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Ta Hool Hool Shute is dead.  The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young  men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are—perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead.  Hear me, my Chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.

The answer choices were:

- The new leaders will organize their tribe again.

- There are no tribal leaders left.

- The young people have led the tribe well.

- The tribe needs a young leader to win the war.

correct!

hope this !
