Hopefully, these people will be willing and able to help him.

Answer
A
specifically
B
absolutely
C
because
D
later

Explanation

The blank needs a word that explains why Rainsford heads toward the gunshots. He goes that way because he realizes gunshots mean people are nearby. “Because” correctly introduces this reason; “specifically,” “absolutely,” and “later” do not express the needed cause.
