Explanation:

Daniel Leonard seemed to be more cautious about war, so the fact that the British army had more military resources would support his view that war was a difficult - to - win situation. The statements about women's contributions and the proportion of Patriots are not directly related to either Leonard's or Henry's main arguments as presented. Patrick Henry was more in favor of using the natural means at the colonists' disposal for the cause of liberty and did not seem to focus on these particular facts.

Answer:

The British army had more military resources than the colonies: Leonard
Women contributed to the Patriot and Loyalist causes in many ways: Neither
Over three - quarters of colonists were Patriots: Neither
