Question

finding evidence in the text
clinton gave the silver ball to daniel taylor, a young
officer, promising that taylor would be promoted if he
got the message to burgoyne. if he were captured, he was
to swallow the ball. because it was made of silver, it could
not harm him.
taylor had not gone far before several soldiers in red
uniforms stopped him. believing he was in friendly
hands, he said he had a message from \general clinton.\
but what he didnt know was that the smiling soldiers
were americans, wearing uniforms swiped from a british
ship. they took taylor to a \general clinton\ who
happened to be an american general named george
clinton.
which evidence in the passage supports the idea that
revolutionaries tricked a british soldier?
they took the soldier to an american general
clinton instead of the british general clinton.
they stopped taylor along his route to burgoyne.
red uniforms were easy to come by for the
american soldiers.
taylor decided to deliver the message even though
doing so would be dangerous.

Explanation:

The key idea is that revolutionaries tricked a British soldier. The option "They took the soldier to an American General Clinton instead of the British General Clinton" shows the trickery. The other options either just describe actions without showing trickery (like stopping Taylor or Taylor's decision) or a fact about uniforms (which is not about trickery itself).

Answer:

They took the soldier to an American General Clinton instead of the British General Clinton.
