Read this passage from a British newspaper.The French and Indians, the Number of each not known, had, as we found after, possessed the Sides and Brow of a Hill, in a circular Form, from the Extreme of which some of them fired upon one of our advanced Flank Parties. This immediately struck a general Panic; the Men could not be persuaded to form regularly; in great Confusion they fell back . . . . no Order could be restored.–The Public AdvertiserSeptember 20, 1755Based on this passage, which statement is true?
Answer
A
The British panicked when they were shot at.
B
The French and Indigenous peoples were very alarmed.
C
The British were on a hill in a circle.
D
The British fired and then panicked.
Explanation
The passage says that some French and Indigenous fighters fired on a British flank party, and “this immediately struck a general Panic” among the British men. So the British panicked when they were shot at. The passage does not say the French and Indigenous fighters panicked, or that the British were positioned in a circle on the hill.
