Which geographic path does the narrative follow to depict Booth's flight?

• A. From Washington, D.C., through Maryland and Virginia, via rural routes and hiding places
• B. From New York City to Philadelphia along major roads
• C. From Richmond to Charleston along coastal routes
• D. From Chicago to Detroit via the Great Lakes

Answer: (A)

The event tests your recall of Booth’s actual flight path after the assassination. The narrative follows his escape starting from Washington, D.C., moving through Maryland and into Virginia, using rural backroads and hiding places along the way. This route—staying in the border area between the capital region and the southern states, with concealments like barns and farms—drives the tension of the chase and matches how the manhunt unfolded in the story. Other routes don’t fit the events: they place Booth moving to cities or regions far from where he hid and was pursued, so they don’t align with the narrative’s sequence of rural Maryland and Virginia travel and the concealment stops along the way.
