Question

passage 1: when we came there, we were attacked by a party of french and indians, whose number, i am persuaded, did not exceed three hundred men, while ours consisted of about one thousand three hundred well - armed troops, chiefly regular soldiers, who were struck with such a panic that they behaved with more cowardice than it is possible to conceive. the officers behaved gallantly, in order to encourage their men, for which they suffered greatly, there being near sixty killed and wounded - george washington, july 18, 1755 passage 2: how does washington’s account differ from the newspaper account? washington identifies who attacked the british forces. washington explains how the battle began. washington mentions that the officers tried to restore order to the british forces.

Explanation:

Washington's account gives details about the attackers (French and Indians), their number, and how the British - force soldiers panicked while officers tried to restore order. Without the newspaper account, we can't be sure if these details are in it. But the fact that Washington identifies the attackers is a key difference that stands out.

Answer:

Washington identifies who attacked the British forces.
