Booth had two weapons. What were they?

Explanation:
The question tests recall of Booth’s equipment on the night Lincoln was shot. John Wilkes Booth carried a small .44 caliber pistol (a Derringer) and also a knife, making the combination of a pistol and a knife the historically correct description. The other options propose weapons Booth did not use or carry (a sword, two pistols, or a rifle), so they don’t fit the established details of that event.
