Booth was killed in a barn at Garrett's Farm.

• A. Booth was captured and imprisoned at Garrett's Farm.
• B. Booth died in a theater in Washington, D.C.
• C. Booth escaped to Canada
• D. Booth was killed in a barn at Garrett's Farm.

Answer: (D)

The event being tested is Booth’s fate after Lincoln’s assassination. After the mustering of pursuit, Booth was cornered in a tobacco barn on Garrett’s Farm near Port Royal, Virginia. Union soldiers shot him, and he died there a few hours later. That is why this statement is the correct one. He wasn’t captured and imprisoned at that location, he didn’t die in a theater in Washington, D.C., and he did not escape to Canada—the historical record places his death in the Garrett’s Farm barn.
