Question
] Which of these is the best summary of the selection.
(E2.5D)
© After several disastrous encounters with Mexican troops, on April 21, 1836, the
Texans stormed into the Mexican camp, surprised the enemy, and forced its
surrender.
B
After a series of conflicts, the Texan rebels backed the much larger Mexican army
into a tight spot from which they couldn't escape. They used a surprise attack to
overrun their foes and quickly subdued them, including their general, Santa Anna,
who tried to sneak away and beg mercy for his cruel tactics.
© Because Santa Anna disappeared during the Battle of San Jacinto, the Mexican
army was glad to see him in disguise after the battle, greeting him with great,
enthusiastic shouts, which led to his capture.
© The band of Texans, including a company of Kentucky Rifles, did not take an
afternoon siesta, as did the Mexican army, and therefore were the first to discover
that they were cut off from retreat by bayou water, the San Jacinto River, the
marshes, and the bay. They had to go forward toward victory.
