Which defender of the Alamo shares a famous knife name?

• A. James Bowie
• B. David Crockett
• C. Joe Travis
• D. Hendrick Arnold

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is the famous Bowie knife. That blade gets its name from James Bowie, who defended the Alamo and became a legendary figure in Texas history. Because the knife is named after him, he’s the defender associated with the famous blade. The other names—Davy Crockett or Hendrick Arnold, Joe Travis—don’t have a famous knife linked to them, so they aren’t the match for this clue. So the best answer is James Bowie.
