User: When the dying lieutenant asks Collins for a drink of water, Collins’s first reaction is to — a. carry the wounded man back to his regiment b. refuse the request and keep on running c. leave the officer a canteen of water and keep on running d. stop at once and give the man some water

Note: Collin's first reaction is to - b. refuse the request and keep on running. "I can't!" he screamed, and in his reply was a full description of his quaking apprehension. His cap was gone and his hair was riotous. [ [ His clothes made it appear that he had been dragged over the ground by the heels. He ran on. www.online-literature.com/crane/2540/ ] ]
