Question

which of the following best describes the early phases of the american revolution? a string of continental army victories made the end of the war seem close. the continental army experienced an equal number of victories and defeats. a string of continental army defeats was reversed when washington retired. the continental army faced defeat most times they fought the british.

Explanation:

• Option A: In the early phases, the Continental Army did not have a string of victories; the war was long - drawn, so this is incorrect.
• Option B: The Continental Army faced more defeats than victories in the early stages, so the claim of an equal number of victories and defeats is wrong.
• Option C: Washington did not retire in the early phases, and the string of defeats was not reversed by his retirement. In fact, Washington was a key leader during the war.
• Option D: During the early phases of the American Revolution, the Continental Army, which was often less - trained and less - equipped than the British army, faced defeat in most of their early engagements with the British.

Answer:

D. The Continental army faced defeat most times they fought the British.
