Question 4 • English 9 CR SUSD (EX)
The sentence explains why Rainsford decides to head toward the gunshots: he thinks people may be nearby and able to help. “Because” introduces that reason and makes the sentence read naturally: “He does so because he realizes where there are gunshots, there are people.” “Absolutely,” “later,” and “specifically” do not express the reason for his decision.
