What caused soldiers of the Confederate army to bring injured John Burns home to his wife in “John Burns: The Unlikely Civil War Hero”?

The Confederate soldiers did not think Burns looked like a Union soldier. He was elderly and wore unusual clothing, so they brought him home to his wife rather than treating him as an enemy combatant. The correct choice is “They thought he was too elderly and too oddly dressed to be a Union soldier.”
