Read this excerpt from The First Men in the Moon.

I stood with Cavor's cap in my hand, staring at the trampled reeds and thorns about me. On some, of them were little smears of something dark, something that I dared not touch. A dozen yards away, perhaps, the rising breeze dragged something into view, something small and vividly white.

What inference can be made based on the passage above?

Something dark is smeared on the ground.

Mr. Cavor has deserted Mr. Bedford.

Mr. Cavor has been involved in a struggle.

A mooncalf has been killed.
