When the British headed out, Americans hung two lamps as a warning signal.

The correct response is:

**Paul Revere had warned villages that the redcoats were coming.**

Additionally, while there’s a historical detail about warning signals, the phrase about hanging two lamps refers to the signal used by Revere's cohort, but that specific option isn't represented as written.

To clarify:

1. Paul Revere's midnight ride was crucial in warning the colonies about the British march toward Concord.
2. The hanging of lights (one if by land, two if by sea) is a reference to Revere's signal plan but doesn't mention "hanging two lamps" directly.
