In what year was the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" written?

  1. 1840

  2. 1875

  3. 1860

  4. 1825

The correct answer is: 1840

"Paul Revere's Ride" was written by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in 1840. B, C, and D are incorrect because they are not the year in which the poem was written. 1825 is too early as Longfellow was only 18 years old at that time and did not become a well-known poet until later in his life. 1875 is too late as Longfellow had passed away in 1882. With this context, we can see that 1840 is the most accurate and logical answer.
