Almost everyone is excited about a picnic on the battlefield.

Option A.

Explanation:

In the text which is named as Battle picnic which has been written by Jonas Sellers is about the time when there was going to be war with the Confederates. It is in the time of the year 1861.

In the eighth part of the text, the people are so excited that there is going to be entertainment during the battle and there would be very easy victory for the troops. This shows us that the characters do not even realize what the situation is.

answer: the third option is your answer

explanation:

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40     distribute/multiply - into (2a + 7)

8 - 2a - 7 = a + 40

1 - 2a = a + 40       add 2a on both sides

1 = 3a + 40         subtract 40 on both sides

-39 = 3a       divide 3 on both sides

-13 = a

[proof]

8 - (2a + 7) = a + 40

8 - (2(-13) + 7) = -13 + 40

8 - (-26 + 7) = 27

8 - (-19) = 27

8 + 19 = 27

27 = 27
