Explanation:
Bret Harte's short story "Tennessee's Partner," tells the story of two friends and their everlasting and unbreakable bond despite their differences. The story presents the loyalty of these two friends to death.
Narrated by an unknown first person, the story reveals that Tennessee committed a crime for which he was captured and hanged. After a failed attempt to bribe the judge to release Tennessee, the friend still came to collect the body of Tennessee after he was hanged. Bringing his friend home was his job and he did just that.
Thus, the correct answer is B.
