second - and account? choose two answers.

c it includes opinions about the british.
d it contains information from different years.

Explanation:

• Option B: A second - hand account is often told from one person's point of view. In Passage 2, the use of “we” suggests a personal, first - person (but in the context of an account, it can be a retelling from one person's perspective which is characteristic of a second - hand account).
• Option D: Passage 1 has information from 1773 and 1775. A second - hand account can piece together information from different times (years) as it may be a compilation or retelling of events that occurred over a period.

Answer:

B. It is told from one person's point of view; D. It contains information from different years.
