To determine which passage from the novel could be used to support the idea that Sam Adams was a rebel intent on war with England, we need to carefully examine each option and consider how it contributes to the idea.
A) "The first of the tea ships, the Dartmouth, is entering the harbor. She'll be at Castle Island by nightfall."
This passage indicates that a tea ship is arriving in the harbor. While it suggests Sam Adams' involvement in events leading up to the Boston Tea Party, it does not explicitly support the idea of him being a rebel intent on war with England.
B) "Ah, Mr. Lorne," said Adams, shaking hands, "without you printers the cause of liberty would be lost forever."
This passage highlights Sam Adams expressing appreciation for the printers' contribution to the cause of liberty. While it indicates his involvement in the fight for freedom, it does not directly indicate a desire for war with England.
C) "Look at Sam Adams. If he looks as pleased as an old dog fox with a fat pullet in his mouth, we'll know they've agreed to violence if everything else fails."
This passage directly suggests that Sam Adams would be pleased if violence became necessary as a means of resistance. This implies a more aggressive and rebellious stance against England, indicating a possible inclination towards war.
D) "Johnny thought how the Tories were saying that Sam Adams seduced John Hancock, even as the Devil had seduced Eve by a constant whispering in his ear."
This passage does not provide evidence to support the idea that Sam Adams was a rebel intent on war with England. It mentions rumors and gossip about Adams and Hancock but does not directly connect Adams to a desire for war.
Based on the analysis above, passage C, "Look at Sam Adams. If he looks as pleased as an old dog fox with a fat pullet in his mouth, we'll know they've agreed to violence if everything else fails," could be used to support the idea that Sam Adams was a rebel intent on war with England.
