Who else was injured in the assassination and how?

Explanation:
The event being tested is the injuries other than Lincoln himself. Major Henry Rathbone, who was in the presidential box with Lincoln, tried to stop Booth and was stabbed in the upper arm with a dagger when Booth attacked. This is the factual detail that matches the described injury. The other possibilities aren’t supported by the records: there wasn’t a guard knocked unconscious, Lincoln’s wife was not wounded, and the Secretary of War was not shot.
