I don’t have the passage you’re referring to. Please paste Paragraph 38 (or tell me the title and author/specific text) and I’ll select the correct options and explain why.

If you want to do it yourself, look for lines that show Byrd’s actions or thoughts:
- explicit refusal to risk lives → “I won’t…” or “We can’t…”
- succumbing to stress → indecision, panic, physical/mental breakdown
- making a decision under stress → quick, authoritative choice despite danger
- knowing the men’s devotion → comments about their loyalty, purpose, or past behavior
- letting the men decide → he defers, asks for votes, or steps back

Paste the paragraph and I’ll mark which apply and cite the supporting phrases.
