    Correct Answer
    A. Keep silent
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "keep silent." The boys took an oath to remain quiet about something, possibly a secret or a wrongdoing.

    • They weren't sure what would happen

    Correct Answer
    A. They were afraid they would be killed
    Explanation
    The boys chose not to tell about the murder because they were afraid that they would be killed. This fear of retaliation likely outweighed any potential consequences or blame they might face for withholding information. By not revealing the truth, they believed they could protect themselves from harm and avoid becoming targets of the murderer or any other dangerous individuals involved in the crime.

    Aunt Polly made Tom feel bad by weeping.

The phrase "going to die" suggests a sense of impending death, indicating a more serious and potentially irreversible outcome compared to the other options provided.
