Question

which detail should be included in a summary of elizabeth van lews role as a spymaster during the civil war?
she was born in the year 1818.
her home was used as a safe house.
in 1864, she sent three messages weekly.
she put a message inside an empty eggshell.

Explanation:

To determine the relevant detail for summarizing Elizabeth Van Lew's role as a spymaster, we analyze each option:

• "She was born in the year 1818" is biographical info, not related to her spymaster role.
• "Her home was used as a safe house" directly relates to her role in espionage during the Civil War, as a safe house is a key aspect of running a spy network.
• "In 1864, she sent three messages weekly" is a specific operational detail but less central to defining her role as a spymaster compared to the safe house (which is a foundational element of her spy operations).
• "She put a message inside an empty eggshell" is a specific encoding method, not as core to her role as a spymaster as the safe house.

Answer:

B. Her home was used as a safe house
