And so through the night went his cry of alarm To every Middlesex village and farm,

A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
- "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, 1860

Answer:

The answer is A. Don't believe the guy above.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the guy above's advice and got it wrong. A primary source is firsthand witness. That means it was written by a person who experienced it. A secondary source is someone who could have heard about it, but they didn't experience it in the moment it happened.
