Read the following excerpt from 'paul revere's ride.'

'then he said "good night! " and with muffled oar
silently rowed to the charleston shore
just as the moon rose over the bay
where swinging wide at her moorings lay
the somerset, british man-of-war:
a phantom ship, with each mast and spar
across the moon, like a prison-bar
and a huge black hulk, that was magnified
by its own reflection in the tide'

based on this passage, what can you infer about the order of events?

a. paul already knew the british were coming by sea

b. paul mistakenly anticipated that the british were coming by land

c. the british warship was in the bay at the same time paul revere hatched his plan

d. paul's friend had seen the somerset in the bay before they spoke (most likely not it)
