Which of the following best summarizes the following story?

They shot the six cabinet ministers at half-past six in the morning against the wall of a hospital. There were pools of water in the courtyard. There were wet dead leaves on the paving of the courtyard. It rained hard. All the shutters of the hospital were nailed shut. One of the ministers was sick with typhoid. Two soldiers carried him downstairs and out into the rain. They tried to hold him up against the wall but he sat down in a puddle of water. The other five stood very quietly against the wall. Finally the officer told the soldiers it was no good trying to make him stand up. When they fired the first volley he was sitting down in the water with his head on his knees.


6 politicians and some soldiers give a shot of medicine to a minister suffering from typhoid because the hospital is closed

6 politicians are executed by firing squad. Ironically, one is nearly dead before the first shot.

Because the hospital is closed, 6 ministers are shot to death in the rain, so as to ease their suffering
