Explanation:

Part A

To determine Henry’s confidence reason, analyze options: The colonists’ oppression by British (option about being ignored/oppressed) shows their motivation to fight, implying strength to succeed. Other options lack direct support for confidence. So the statement "The colonists have been ignored and oppressed by the British for more than ten years" (or the relevant option with this context) provides the best reason.

To support Part A’s answer, find a sentence showing colonists’ oppression or resolve. The sentence "Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of those means which the God of nature hath placed in our power" (or the relevant one) shows their belief in their strength despite British actions, supporting the idea they can succeed.

Answer:

(Assuming the option with colonists’ oppression by British is the correct one, e.g., if the option is "The colonists have been ignored and oppressed by the British for more than ten years", then the answer is that option. Since the exact option text isn't fully clear, but based on context, the correct option relates to British oppression of colonists to show their resolve to succeed.)
