Answer:
Inability to see the larger picture because of one's own experience
Lack of access to some information
Explanation:
In this excerpt, the author's description is limited to only what he sees and experiences. He sees that they were surrounded and suddenly attacked by the French and Indians, which caused the British soldiers to panic. However, the author is unaware of everything that was going on; for example, under those circumstances, he could only see what was happening to the British soldiers and lacked the access to other information such as the number of their enemies, how they got there or who shot their Flank Parties. These limitations are very common in first-person accounts, where the speaker can only describe the events through their viewpoint, and thus he or she is usually unaware of everything that is going on and misses the larger picture of events.
