Answer 1

The statement that is NOT a primary purpose of Paul Revere's engraving is: **To make sure that the other colonies knew that the British were not so bad after all.**

Revere's engraving was intended to evoke outrage and unify the colonies against British rule by portraying the British soldiers in a negative light, emphasizing the violence and injustice of the Boston Massacre.
