Answer: The correct answer is number 2. She willingly volunteers to serve, knowing it will give her a chance to gather important information.

Explanation:

She ends up applying after a federal spy had been killed when he was captured. She had just lost one of her best friends in the war, and she had written in her journal "I was left alone with a deep sorrow in my heart." She applied and was offered the job. After her many years of service, she had a good reputation and respect from her fellow servicemen.
