Answer to Question 1


  • One possible answer might be that Farquhar, a slave owner and like other slave owners a politician, has managed in his own way to engineer damage to the enemy and so has become a marked man. A believer in at least a part of the frankly villainous dictum that all is fair in love and war (par. 8), Farquhar is lured into a fatal trap by someone in the enemy camp who assents to the same view.



Answer to Question 2


  • Incited by the Federal Scout, he has apparently tried to burn down Owl Creek Bridge, which is in the hands of the Union Army.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
