Where did Cox suggest the fugitives hide? Why?

• A. In a city warehouse
• B. In a heavily wooded pine thicket some distance away where no one would find them
• C. In a cave near a river
• D. In a nearby barn

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is where Cox advised the fugitives to hide and why that location makes sense for staying out of sight. Cox proposed a heavily wooded pine thicket some distance away, chosen because dense pines provide natural camouflage and cover, making it easy to lie low and blend into the landscape. Being removed from towns and main roads reduces the chance that searchers will stumble upon them, buying time to move or change plans. Other options would be less practical: a city warehouse would be easy to monitor or check, a cave near a river could be damp, dark, or trap them in an area locals might search, and a nearby barn would be too exposed and likely recognized or reported. The pine thicket option emphasizes concealment and distance as the best way to avoid detection.
