There was never anything to indicate his whereabouts. But a few days afterward, a goodly number of slaves would be gone from the plantation. Neither the master nor the overseer had heard or seen anything unusual in the quarter. Sometimes one or the other would vaguely remember having heard a whippoorwill call somewhere in the woods, close by, late at night. Though it was the wrong season for whippoorwills.
Which reason best describes why Harriet Tubman uses the whippoorwill sound?
A. to communicate with enslaved people who are going to leave with her
B. to prevent plantation owners from tracking her group of runaways***
C. to confuse plantation owners while she helps people run away
D. to mask the sounds of people running through the brush

Your answer is correct. Harriet Tubman uses the whippoorwill sound to prevent plantation owners from tracking her group of runaways. In the passage, it is mentioned that neither the master nor the overseer had heard or seen anything unusual in the quarter. However, they vaguely remember hearing a whippoorwill call somewhere in the woods, close by, late at night. By imitating the sound of a whippoorwill, Tubman can confuse and mislead the plantation owners, making it more difficult for them to track her group of runaway slaves. This strategy helps to ensure the safety and success of the escape plan.
