I say C. because the entire paragraph is talking about political power.
the sons of liberty used it as leverage and overdramatized it to get more people to join their cause, calling it a massacre and saying that the men were ordered to fire when they weren't
The best I can think of is political groups. So, I’ll be basing this off of American politics. The conservatives, or rightists, wish to promote tradition, free market economy, and more social restrictions. The liberals, or leftists, wish to bring about change in their country, having more social freedoms, and more government regulation of the economy. Each side’s views can vary on how extreme or moderate they are, and how violently they feel about their opinion. I’m not looking to get political, so no one start commenting political stuff in the comment section. Hope this helps.
