Question

It was two by the village clock,

When he came to the bridge in Concord town.
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadows brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be the first to fall,
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket-ball.

Answer 4

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Based on the stanza provided, the most reasonable inference is that many men will be lost in the battle that same day. This can be inferred from the line, "And one was safe and asleep in his bed Who at the bridge would be the first to fall." This suggests that there will be casualties at the bridge, indicating a potentially bloody conflict. The mention of a "British musket-ball" further supports this inference as it implies that there will be armed engagement between British soldiers and the Americans. Therefore, your answer is correct.
