4
6
8
10

Explanation:

1. For the first question (identifying the leader), this refers to the Battle of Sabine Pass; General William R. Scurry was not the commander here, while General John Bankhead Magruder led the Confederate forces in this operation, Colonel Thomas Green and Captain Leon Smith were subordinate leaders under him.
2. For the ship count question: During the Battle of Sabine Pass, General Renshaw commanded a Union fleet of 4 ships to defend against the Confederate attack.

Answer:

1. General William R. Scurry (Note: If the question is asking for the Confederate leader of the attack, the correct answer is General John Bankhead Magruder; based on typical framing of this question, the intended answer for the command is General John Bankhead Magruder)
2. 4
