Q1
Read the passage: On a cold April morning, Paul Revere rode through the countryside to warn colonists that British troops were marching. Many farmers had never traveled far from home, but they sensed they were living in a new epoch, a major stretch of time when life changed quickly. The alarm helped begin a revolution, not a spinning motion but a complete change in government. After the first battles, some leaders wrote a treatise, a long written argument that explained why the colonies should govern themselves. Meanwhile, a small insurrection broke out in one town when angry citizens briefly rose up against local officials. What is the meaning of insurrection in the passage?
