Question

In “A Mystery of Heroism,” you can infer that Collins’s superior officers—

very much want him to get the water because they are also thirsty.
understand Collins’s burning need to become a hero.
do not want him to go because the risk is not worth taking.
are afraid that Collins will gain all of the fame for himself alone.

Answer 1

The answer to this question is the statement 'do not want him to go because the risk is not worth taking'. It can be inferred in the text because there were points of hesitation and constant questioning  on whether Collins really wanted to go. Plus, it was not really needed because not all of them were thirsty.
