which picture source above corroborates this witness story?
○ a source a
○ b source b

Explanation:

The witness describes a scene where people are taunting soldiers (calling them "lobsters," daring them to fire) and there is an interaction with Captain Preston. Source A shows a more organized - looking group of soldiers with people in a confrontational stance (matching the description of people taunting and the presence of a figure like Captain Preston who could be in a leadership position among the soldiers). Source B shows a more chaotic melee - like scene without the clear presence of a leader (Captain Preston as described) and a more organized soldier - civilian interaction as per the witness's account.

Answer:

a. Source A
