read the social studies textbook excerpt and then answer the question.

although paul revere gained lasting fame for his midnight ride warning colonists about an impending british attack, many people arent aware of a similar ride taken by a sixteen-year-old girl. sybil ludington, born in connecticut in 1761, completed her own perilous night ride in advance of british forces.

in 1777, british loyalists and troops attacked danbury, connecticut. in desperation, a messenger asked ludington to ride through the night and alert the local regiment. all told, ludington rode forty miles—significantly farther than paul revere had—and managed to gather nearly the entire regiment to fight the british. following the danbury battle, george washington himself traveled to the ludington home to thank sybil for her bravery.

ludingtons ride never became as famous as paul reveres. however, if you visit new york, you can find historical markers tracing her route through putnam county.

who is the primary audience?

history buffs who have already read biographies of sybil ludington
readers with a basic knowledge of the revolutionary war
students researching the life of paul revere
readers with no prior knowledge about the revolutionary war

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. Analyze Option 1: The text introduces Sybil Ludington's ride, so it's not for those who already read her biographies (they'd know this). Eliminate.
2. Analyze Option 2: The text references Paul Revere (a well - known Revolutionary War figure) and the British - colonial conflict. It assumes some basic knowledge of the Revolutionary War context (like knowing Paul Revere's ride) to understand the comparison. This is a good fit.
3. Analyze Option 3: The text is about Sybil Ludington, not focused on researching Paul Revere's life. Eliminate.
4. Analyze Option 4: The text uses references to the Revolutionary War (e.g., British forces, George Washington) that would be unclear to those with no prior knowledge. Eliminate.

# Answer:
B. readers with a basic knowledge of the Revolutionary War
