My answer is : <span>D) Paul Revere's ride helped ignite a rebellion across the colonies.
The poem tells of the story of Paul Revere who awaited the signal from the his friend on the belfry arch of the North Church tower. If there were British troops marching by land, one light would be seen on the tower. If there were British troops on the sea, two lights would be lighted.
These light would signal Paul Revere and prompt him to ride through the villages to warn them of the incoming invasion and to make the village people prepare themselves in facing their enemies.
This midnight ride became the downfall of the British troops as they were caught by surprise and were not prepared to face opposition from the village people intent on fighting for their lands.</span>
