Question

only the time and date

the most important details

some of the less-important details

all of the less-important details

Answer 1

In Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride," some of the details that are inaccurate include certain less-important details, such as the specific timing of the ride and the portrayal of Revere as the sole hero of the event. While the poem dramatizes the ride for artistic effect, it takes liberties with historical accuracy. Overall, the inaccuracies primarily pertain to the less-important details rather than the core event itself. Therefore, the correct option would be some of the less-important details.
